Arguably the finest close-harmony duo in the history of country music, the Louvin Brothers were standard bearers of the traditions of Appalachian music at a time when Nashville was moving country music into a more modern direction.

Raised on the sounds of The Delmore Brothers, the Monroe Brothers, The Carter Family, and the Blue Sky Boys, Ira and Charlie Louvin blended their tenor voices with a remarkable skill, creating a powerfully emotional sound reinforced by Ira's expert mandolin work.
