This album and The Statesmen Quartet Sings, which featured ‘Cat’ Freeman, and both from ‘58, I believe, were the first Statesmen albums my family bought (I was 5). Later, we got the very first one, recorded in 1957. And all three are here in Steve’s collection to enjoy. Amen, as Hovie used to say. And if the response was not enthusiastic enough for his liking, out came the white handkerchief and Hovie would would say: “Maybe I aught to preach a little bit.”
Enjoyed the original song , Move That Mountain by the Statesmen quartet, heard it first by the Dove Bothers quartet in the 1990s. I must say both quartets did a quality job on the song! Thanks for sharing!
I must correct my statement , the Kingdom Heirs did this song , not the Dove Brothers, though they did remakes of other Statesmen classics! Sorry did not want to mislead any readers! Thanks!
@@SteveKrampitz Oh man thanks a lot. Hey if you can post more Hovie and the Statesmen I’d sure appreciate it. I have the albums you’ve already posted on repeat all day. Appreciate the stuff your doing!
Extraordinary Arrangements! No one today does better!!
Just the right amount brass orchestration on the song, "The Bible Told Me So." Great job!

8 KNOW ONLY TO HIM, NOT ME....ONE OF MY FAVORITE STATESMEN SONG,,,,THANKS FOR ALL YOU DO!
Beautiful ❤️
THank you Steve for all the wonderful work you are doing to bring these wonderful days back to life for many of us...badly needed these days.
Loved the statesmen r.I.p. hovie.
Doy Ott outstanding vocal No One But Jesus Knows
Stand out song for me. Additionally the arrangement they used for “In The Beginning”. The song ending is phenomenal.
Is that Chet Atkins on guitar?
I would say so. He also played some riffs on The Weatherford's - In The Garden, as he produced that album.
4:15 the Bible told me so
Is there a lyrics page for The Bible Told Me So
