Jimmy Fortune, a Country Music Hall of Fame inductee and member of the legendary Statler Brothers, has just completed an all-new recording, Jimmy Fortune: Sings the Classics. The album, which will be available April 21, features collaborations with longtime friends Ricky Skaggs, The Isaacs and the Voices of Lee. The Gaither Music Group project will be available at music retailers everywhere, along with Cracker Barrel Old Country Store® locations nationwide. Fans can also pre-order the album HERE.

"This project is very special and dear to my heart," said Jimmy Fortune. "A lot of hard work and thought went into picking each song, songs that shaped my life. I love them all and I think anyone who hears it will feel the same way."

Known for his unmistakable tenor voice that has captivated audiences since his 21-year tenure with The Statler Brothers, Fortune puts a new twist on some of his old favorites on the upcoming album. Jimmy Fortune: Sings the Classics features 14 new studio recordings of classic songs that have all left their mark in music history.

Standout tracks on the project include the classic Hank Cochran-penned "Make the World Go Away," which has been recorded over the years by some of music's greatest voices including Ray Price, Eddy Arnold and Donny & Marie Osmond. Another highlight is the country classic "Take Me Home, Country Roads," which is one of the most well-known songs in the history of the genre. Paying homage to his Statler Brothers' heritage, the project also features a new recording of the signature Grammy® Award-winning hit "Flowers on the Wall," a tune which Fortune knows well, as it was the first major hit for the iconic quartet.
