Lost Country: The Louvin Brothers (Scott)

Louvin Brothers - Great Atomic Power
As the slick, overproduced country sounds of the 1980’s transitioned into the insufferable cubicle pop of the 1990’s and beyond, traditional country music was pushed to the AM radio fringes and then mostly forgotten by mainstream radio. LOST COUNTRY will take a look back at obscure and overlooked artists from country music’s heyday of the 1960’s through 1970’s. The Lure of The Louvin Brothers There might not be a sweeter, more pure sound escaping from a set of speakers than [...]

Christmas With The Louvin Brothers (1961)

Christmas music: It ain't for everyone. But then, it is for some. In later years, I’ve gravitated more towards the solemn, poetic hymns that predate by a matter of centuries the sentimental oom-pa-pa of most Christmas music. (Though, that being said, I’m a total sucker for “Jingle Bell Rock”; forgive me.), and Christmas With the [...]

Sunday Mix Tape Number 286

I almost titled this Sunday Mixtape Number 288. Apparently in my mind I've already run the Veas marathon, and it's late-night Decmeber 2nd and I'm ready to compile a mix tape. Silly me, I've still got two weeks to go! Of course, there's no way in hell I'm going to finish running 26.2 miles and [...]

Scribes Sounding Off: Soul Kitchen Edition (Doors, Louvin Bros., Mike Doughty)

Scribes Sounding Off: Soul Kitchen Edition (Doors, Louvin Bros., Mike Doughty) A garage band with grand sonic ambitions from Venice, California, The Doors - Ray Manzarek, Jim Morrison, John Densmore, Robby Krieger - is the toast of Greil Marcus’s latest book, The Doors: A Lifetime of Listening to Five Mean Years . It’s a brisk sweep through the history of the strangely endlessly influential yet condemned by perennial popularity rock group from the revolutionary rumors of “Light My Fire” on El Lay stations in 1967 to the Marat-like finish of the lead singer in New Orleans in 1971. Marcus is certainly a scholar, he’s [...]

Any Major Country Christmas Vol. 1

Any Major Country Christmas Vol. 1 Seeing as the History of Country series is proving so popular, let us put on a Santa-red Stetson and have a country Christmas. This lot is old-skool: Ernest Tubb riffs (badly) on his 1941 honky tonk classic, Loretta Lynn socks it to it disagreeable Santa, while Brenda Lee aims to lassoo him, yee ha. George Jones goes X-Mas twisting, and Buck Jones provides some serious pathos. And if you had to choose one man to sing Little Drummer Boy, it would have to be Johnny Cash, right? Hey, even horrid old Jingle bloody Bells sounds good here! [...]

The Louvin Brothers: Satan Is Real

Charlie Louvin, The Louvin Brothers sing
Legendary country masterwork gets the reissue and bonus disc treatment. It has been said countless times before that the Beatles' harmonies were influenced by the Everly Brothers, who in turn molded their voices from that of the Louvin Brothers. If that is the probable case, then a good portion of the history of popular music can be traced back to the rural red clay of south Alabama where brothers Ira and Charlie Louvin were born and raised amongst a family of five other siblings and...

The Louvin Brothers – Satan Is Real/Handpicked Songs

The Louvin Brothers – Satan Is Real/Handpicked Songs On surface, The Louvin Brothers ’ recipe of God-bothering country music is the ultimate hard sell for the modern music fan. Don’t run off screaming just yet, though. This excellent double CD package contains material from a bygone era (1955 –1962), way before country mutated into outsized-hat sporting ridiculousness that would break out in a rash if it were to be hauled too far beyond the point where the pavement ends. As for religion, anyone familiar with the life and times of, for example, Johnny Cash can tell that the soul-shaking stuff of sin and salvation is just as elemental for music with country roots [...]

The Louvin Brothers - Handpicked Songs

The Louvin Brothers are a true mix of yin and yang; they manage to be one of the most un-hip groups of all time, while at the same time influencing a whole roster of bands and artists across a wide spectrum of music with their gospel old timey close harmony country music. Their album covers regularly pop up in the ‘worst covers of all time’ lists with their literal takes on heaven and hell and God and Satan (Google ‘Satan Is Real’ for an example). On the flip side there is no cooler name to drop into the [...]

Dark-Night Songs

Dark-Night Songs "She warbled and keened at an extreme pitch of emotion unattainable by the young, and the verses of the songs went on and on toward a receding conclusion. They were dark-night songs. Knocked-up girls got stabbed or shot or hit in the head, and then buried in the cold ground or thrown into the black deep river. Pretty Polly. Little Omie Wise. Go down, go down, you Knoxville Girl. Sometimes reproduction did not even factor into the narrative. The man snuffed the girl out because he could not own her, a killing offense if the girl's opinions ran counter to [...]
