CRITIC REVIEWS
Very nice and pretty sounding. Love the message and themes of the album. Just ... gets really redundant after a bit.
This album is number 3 in the "1,001 Albums You Must Hear Before You Die" franchise.
Initially, The Louvin Brothers, composed of d'Ira and Charlie, started out singing gospel songs, before moving on to a very country sound, but with respect to their religious ideals. According to some, they started their "career" in the early 1940s, but the first single was Seven Year Blues / Alabama 1949, released by Decca, who would only bet on them once. They are reputed to have democratised the vocal technique of close harmony in country genre, but not only that.

The songs become extremely boring and repetitive as they progress, and the duo's vocals sound unpleasant.
