Southern Gospel Music, and Why I Love It.

Hey y'all! So I was recently listening to my all time favorite genre of music, Southern Gospel, when I did some thinking. Why, exactly, do I love Southern Gospel so much? I don't listen to it exclusively. I also happen to be a fan of OLD country music. But there's something about Southern Gospel that's different from other genres of music. It's about Jesus. Southern Gospel songs share a message of hope, a hope in Christ Jesus. It always makes me laugh when I'm talking with a group of friends, and they're talking about their favorite singing groups.

The Statler Brothers are the most awarded act in country music, and the group consists of Harold Reid, Don Reid, Phil Balsley, and Jimmy Fortune. Whenever I hear a new singer or group that I love, I pretty much obsess over them, and The Statler Brothers have been no exception. I was thrilled to discover that brothers Harold and Don Reid had written a book back in 2008 that provides a look into some of their memories from their career and personal lives. If I had to sum this book up in three words, I would say BEST. AUTOBIOGRAPHY. EVER! Believe me, I have read A LOT of autobiographies, and this one is the absolute best I have EVER read. Harold and Don take turns writing in this book, and they share, as the title of the book says, random memories. Memorie...
