    Have you ever heard the song "Ira", recorded a few years ago just before Charlie's passing? A lovely, tear jerking tribute to his brother.

    A deeply touching song. Great video, too. Did Charlie write it?

    The Louvin's are first-rate. This, for me, is one of the best country songs ever, it's just perfect.

    I saw an interview with Charlie, and he said for all the years as a solo performer, he instinctually wanted to move to the side of the mic for Ira to step up for his harmony.

    I cannot recommend the Razor & Tie comp above enough. Mastered by our host, it is the best sounding disc I own. It has great track selection, and can be had for a reasonable price.

    Always loved that Louvin Bros track on Sweetheart of the Rodeo, The Christian Life I think.

    My favourite by the Louvins is My Baby's Gone.

    "Hold back the rushing minutes, make the wind lie still..." I love these lyrics. A wonderful title track to a wonderful album. Those guys could sing!



    Another track on this LP that I love is She Didn't Even Know I Was Gone. It's just perfect but sadly not on YouTube.

    It's great to see The Louvin Brothers getting some love on this forum.

    I first heard The Louvin Brothers via an American band-mate. He basically said "you love The Beatles, you love The Everly Brothers. Here's where they got it from" and proceeded to play me a bunch of their stuff and gave me a potted history. I think my main response was "Wow". Read an interesting book on them a few years back, can't remember for the life of me what it was but now I understand that Satan was real, 16ft tall, made of plywood and painted by The Louvin Brothers. God bless 'em.

    Man, those vids get taken down fast!
    Thanks to all those for sharing & all those that tried to share!!

    Born in '56; remember seeing Moms Mayley & Minnie Pearl a lot on TV while visiting my Grandfather in the 50's.

    "Folk" dominated, after "Pop", my earliest TV musical experiences. TV was pretty White; luckly, O-Town Grandpops
    thought 'Pops' [Louis Armstrong] was the greatest!

    I'll kick up this thread.

    The other day I found a copy of Steve's Razor & Tie comp for a buck. I just finished listening to it and am enthralled. Indescribable music! After reading the liner notes, I ordered Charlie's book from the library. I could easily see a movie made from this story.
