Fans of tight harmonies and heartfelt storytelling were in for a treat with the debut of “Jimmy Jams: It Takes Three,” a warm and musically rich collaboration featuring Jimmy Fortune, his talented son Bryce Fortune, and the beloved Tommy “Jimmy” Fortune—a delightful blend of family, faith, and familiar voices.
While Jimmy Fortune is best known as a former member of the legendary Statler Brothers, this special project showcased something even more personal: generations of music, bound together not just by blood, but by shared passion and purpose.
“It Takes Three” wasn’t just about showcasing vocals—it was about capturing the spirit of family music, the kind passed down from porch to church pew, from father to son. In the series, the Fortunes sang gospel, country, and Americana classics, all wrapped in rich harmonies that only family voices can truly create.
“Singing with my family is the greatest gift God ever gave me,” Jimmy said in the premiere episode. “These aren’t just songs—we’re telling our story.”
Alongside Jimmy, Tommy Fortune—affectionately known as “Jimmy Jr.” to longtime fans—brought not only his voice but his gentle charm and humor. And rounding out the trio was Bryce Fortune, the youngest of the bunch, whose vocals stunned audiences with their clarity and depth.
Whether performing beloved hymns like “Farther Along” or classic country favorites, the trio brought a sense of comfort, nostalgia, and sincerity that’s rare in today’s music landscape.
Throughout the episodes, they also shared stories from the road, memories of the Statler Brothers days, and moments that gave fans a deeper glimpse into Jimmy’s journey through faith, fame, and fatherhood.
And the chemistry between them? Unmistakable.
“We may be three generations,” Jimmy joked, “but when we sing, it feels like one heart.”
With guest appearances from fellow country and gospel musicians, “It Takes Three” quickly found a loving audience—not only among longtime fans of the Statlers but also a new generation who appreciate real music with soul, stories, and a whole lot of heart.
In the end, Jimmy Jams: It Takes Three wasn’t just a musical collaboration. It was a celebration of legacy, a joyful reminder that some of the best songs aren’t just heard—they’re felt, shared, and passed down.
And in this family, it truly does take three.
