NASHVILLE, Tenn. – Country music duo Wilson Fairchild are on the verge of releasing their latest project Songs Our Dads Wrote, which will hit stores on February 7. The pair, which consists of Wil and Langdon Reid, are honoring their fathers, Harold and Don Reid, both founding members of the legendary quartet, The Statler Brothers. In anticipation for the upcoming release, the duo will appear on the legendary Midnite Jamboree on February 25, hosted by the Ernest Tubb Record Shop.
The appearance will feature performances from the highly anticipated release, which includes nine tracks originally co-written by Harold and Don Reid, plus a special Wilson Fairchild penned tribute track, “The Statler Brothers Song.” The Midnite Jamboree is the second longest running radio show in history, airing on the historic 650 AM WSM. The free show will take place at the Texas Troubadour Theatre in Nashville, while fans can also listen in LIVE worldwide at wsmonline.com.
Songs Our Dads Wrote is distributed exclusively by BFD through RED Distribution, with standout songs on the project also including former Statler Brothers hit, “Guilty,” originally released in 1983, when it stormed into the Billboard Hot Country Songs top ten. The new version takes on a rootsy feel, with original Statler Brothers member Jimmy Fortune also appearing on vocals.
