Raised Country Launches New Web Site for Country Hall of Fame Legend, Charlie Louvin
Charlie Louvin
Charlie Louvin is a Country Music Hall of Fame legend. His music is featured in the recently released, award winning movie, Crazy Heart, and has been sung by virtually all of the great country music stars, including Allison Krause, Johnny Cash, Willie Nelson, Emmylou Harris, The Byrds, and on and on and on.
Mr. Louvin’s “hay day” was in the late 40′s, throughout the 50′s, and early 60′s. He was part of a brother duet team, The Louvin Brothers. Their close harmony was based upon old, sacred harp music from the 1920′s. Charlie and his brother Ira helped shape the emerging American country music genre.
Mr. Louvin was so pleased with the article that we wrote about him last year that he asked us to build his new web site. We did. It launched on February 27th, 2010. Go check it out some time! http://charlielouvin.net or http://louvinbrothers.com
Even if you don’t care for “old school” country music, Mr. Louvin’s life represents a fascinating chapter in American history, and is a delight to read about.
