Tragic Songs of Life

Absolutely classic gospel country. The brother's vocal harmonies are wonderful and their simple, yet effective combination of acoustic guitar and mandolin makes for a great backdrop for their songs. The album has a variety of stories to tell, but admittedly the sound does get a bit repetitive by the end of the record. Still, I do consider this an essential piece of country music history and if you can't find this record, at least give a greatest hits a spin.
