The Statesmen Quartet Sing With Hovie Lister (Liner Notes) Lyrics by The Statesmen Quartet

The Statesmen Quartet Sings With Hovie Lister

1958

This is the second album of songs by the sensational group of handsome young men who have achieved a place in the hearts of gospel music lovers unrivaled by any other quartet. The music of the Statesmen Quartet and Hovie Lister has been an inspiration to everyone who has attended one of their gospel sings in the many great cities they visit. If you have attended one of their programs, you have probably come face to face with these young Christians whose songs come from the heart, and you have probably been amazed at the vitality and drive which characterize their appearance. If you've never met the Statesmen, they are offering you and open invitation to come up and say "hello" the next time they come your way
Come up and shake hands with:
HOVIE LISTER, organizer of the group, pianist and master of ceremonies. Hovie has realized his earliest ambitions—to sing and preach the gospel. An ordained minister, he manages to fulfill a strenuous touring schedule and always return home for Sunday services at the Mount Zion Baptist near Marietta, Georgia
DOY OTT, the Statesmen’s baritone and one of the foremost songwriters and accompanists in the world of gospel music. Doy, a native of McAlester, Oklahoma, is part Choctaw Indian
BIG (6'3") CHIEF WETHERINGTON, whose deep bass voice and wonderful personality attract crowds at every appearance
Jake Hess, whose great gospel singing is heard in most of the solo parts. Only his love for inspirational music has kept Jake from becoming one of the really great popular singers in the nation
C. G. "CAT" FREEMAN, tenor singing star, who hails from Fyffe, Alabama. “Cat” is one of the newest members of the quartet, but a real veteran none the less. He was with the Statesmen at the beginning and returned after the death of the late and beloved Denver Crumpler. He now lives in Atlanta, Georgia, as do all of the Statesmen
Despite the rigorous one-night stands, the Statesmen stay fresh and enthusiastic because of their own system of traveling. Some time ago they acquired a 37-passenger bus which they completely remodeled. The entire interior of the bus was removed; they installed modern “sleepers,” a wardrobe department which accommodates their many changes of clothes, a special make-up department, and other comforts of home
This bus, painted a bright gold with “Statesmen Quartet” lettered on its sides in black and silver, signals the arrival of the group when they come into your city or town
