The Louvin Brothers and Special Guests Live At The Grand Ol' Opry 1961-1963

*THANKS TO THE ORIGINAL POSTER

Ladies (if we have any that follow us) and gentlemen I present to you "The Doors" of country music The Louvin Brothers. Jim Morrison, in this case is played by Ira Louvin. These are some of the things Ira did. In a drunken haze called his mother a "bitch" to which Charlie (the smaller one) proceeded to beat the shit our of Ira. Ira tried to strangle his third wife with a telephone cord which earned him six bullets 4 in the back, 2 in the hand. Called Elvis a white n-word which cost them in the long run when E never recorded any of their songs. Coming onstage (drunk), told his audience "Who let all these fucking drunkards in?" When he couldn't tune his mandolin would simply destroy it on and off stage. Born into poverty in Alabama with an abusive father that beat them relentlessly but a mother who taught them about singing. I could go on talking about their album titles "Tragic Songs Of Life," "The Two Sides Of The Louvin Brothers," "Satan Is Real" which the cover designed by Ira with a statue of Satan (which the brothers built) and fire and brimstone that almost got out of hand and fried the brothers. Loved by Gram Parsons, Emmy Lou Harris, Marty Stuart and many more. The irony of Ira dying in a car crash caused by a drunk driver while Ira had a warrant out for a DWI. Charlie going to the crash site and finding Ira's mandolin, (that Ira had built) without a scratch. And many many more harrowing tales. You should look into their career. Also if you're a fan of country music and not the bullshit that goes around calling itself country music you'll love this. One more thing about the commercials on this post, my broker advised me to buy stock in "Pet Milk" (look it up) and every time you buy a can, give it a mention, or pour it from the packet I get a residual. So I figure in a couple of weeks I'll be rolling in it and I can give up this shabby hobby once and for all. See Scans
