Comment:

In a lot of ways, the Louvin Brothers' harmonies define the oft-invoked term "high lonesome" for me. Beautiful, spine-tingling, thoroughly creepy stuff all around. As much as I love these fellas, though, please remind me to *never* listen to their 8-CD Bear Family box set in one sitting (albeit in a slightly abbreviated manner) EVER AGAIN. lol Their career peaked on Disc 2... but they still had at least a couple of great moments through the last song they recorded together ("What Would You Give..."). God rest the reckless, troubled soul of Ira Louvin (he of the keening high harmonies and stellar mandolin), although I suppose he's rendered somewhat immortal (like being "kinda pregnant", I guess) just for co-writing "The Christian Life".
