After five solo albums spanning over a decade, it may seem a reasonable time for former
Statler Brother Jimmy Fortune to release his first solo hits collection. However, 2015's
Hits & Hymns consists of 15 entirely new recordings with an all-star guest list that includes
Vince Gill,
the Oak Ridge Boys,
Ricky Skaggs, and
Dailey & Vincent, among others. Songs include traditional tunes such as "Danny Boy" and "Rock of Ages,"
Statler classics like "More Than a Name on a Wall," and tender originals including "If I Was God." ~ Marcy Donelson
