About This Item
- Details
- Genre: Country
- Description: Charlie and Ira Louvin were possibly one of the most distinctive and important close harmony duos in post-war country music. Based around Ira's trademark mandolin, and with the almost alchemic blend of their voices, on the face of it completely different, but mystically becoming interchangeable as they felt their way through a song. They provided inspiration to artists who themselves became iconic exponents of pop and rock vocal harmony, like The Everly Brothers and The Byrds. Beginning as a country gospel duo during the '40s, their career was interrupted by service in WWII and the Korean War until they joined the Grand Ole Opry in 1955. They were told by the Opry to move away from their gospel roots. As a tobacco sponsor put it InchYou can't sell tobacco with gospel musicInch It was this shift towards secular material which brought them their breakthrough successes. This 16-track LP draws from their output over an 8-year period. It includes all their US country chart entries and more, providing an entertaining showcase for the boys' talents. The collection gives a great overview of the most successful phase of their career. Album Tracks 1. When I Stop Dreaming 2. I Don't Believe You've Met My Baby 3. Hoping That You're Hoping 4. Cash on the Barrelhead 5. You're Running Wild 6. Don't Laugh 7. Plenty of Everything But You 8. My Baby's Gone 9. If I Could Only Win Your Love 10. Knoxville Girl 11. While You're Cheating on Me 12.

GRATEFUL DEAD / TERRAPIN STATION / Newly Mastered by GRAMMY® Award-winning engineer David Glasser. Produced for by David Lemieux. The first Arista Grateful Dead album, and the first studio album featuring an outside producer their debut album a decade earlier, Terrapin Station is one of the deepest, densest, most ambitious album in the entire Dead catalog. Arista president Clive Davis vowed to get the Dead a hit record (that would take another 10 years), so he paired the Dead with Fleetwood Mac producer Keith Olson, and they created an album unlike anything they'd ever made before, filled with strings, horns, a choir, and countless other new sounds in the Dead world. And the songs... what a collection! Estimated Prophet, Samson and Delilah, Passenger, Dancing In The Street, and Donna Jean Godchaux's first lead vocal on a Dead album, Sunrise, make up Side 1. And Side 2 is the entire Terrapin Station suite, with many parts and twists and turns. Truly one of the most exciting sequences of music ever committed to vinyl by The Grateful Dead. Album Tracks 1. Estimated Prophet 2. Dancing in the Street (2023 Remaster) 3. Passenger (2023 Remaster) 4. Samson & Delilah (2023 Remaster) 5. Sunrise (2023 Remaster) 1. Terrapin Station Part 1 (2023 Remaster)
