Hi Folks.Marti and I had an extra hour in front of the regular Bluegrass Cafe show, so we used that hour to present a retrospective of Louvin Brothers music and to demonstrate unequivocally why the loss of Charlie Louvin on 26 January was the end of an era.
Charlie was recording right up until he passed away - his most recent album was released November 2010 and that was the second album he released that year. (The picture above is from his 2007 release on the Tompkins Square label.)
The Louvin Brothers took
the brother harmony tradition that had existed earlier in roots music (think Delmore Brothers, Sam & Kirk McGee, The Monroe Brothers) and elevated it to new heights. When you listen to their contemporaries like the Everly Brothers, it is clear that the Louvins had a significant influence on country and pop harmonies that is continuing. The brother harmony tradition continues in bluegrass today with the top proponents being Dailey & Vincent (in style) and The Gibson Brothers (in reality).And who can forget the iconic cover of their 1960 album, "Satan Is Real"
Besides the Louvin songs, our Heritage Corner provided great legacy bluegrass from Charlie Moore, Mac Martin, Carl Story, Phyllis Boyens, Don Stover, and Reno & Harrell.
New music included our debut of songs from a very talented California family, The Tuttles with A.J. Lee. We also are enjoying playing the latest releases from Travers Chandler & Avery County, Taylor's Grove, Jimmy Gaudreau, and The Roys.
Be sure to tune in next Sunday at 4pm ET when Amy will make the banjos and fiddles ring.
