Day 1: The Louvin Brothers - Tragic Songs Of Life (1956)


This was a nice country album by the Louvin Brothers. I never heard of them before I saw them in the book so it was good to hear something completely new. All the songs sound the same but they're all good and I enjoyed listening to this album. The lyrics of some of them, particularly 'Knoxville Girl', are very shocking considering the album was from 1956 and the tale of 'Mary Of The Wild Moor' is heartbreaking.'Tragic Songs Of Life' takes you back to another time, a simpler time and I enjoyed the ride. I give it 4/5.

Tracks I enjoyed the most: Let Her Go, God Bless Her, In The Pines, Knoxville Girl & Mary Of The Wild Moor.
