Title:	Tragic Songs Of Life
Label:	LIGHT IN THE ATTIC
Format:	LP
Price:	$21.00
Catalog #:	LITA 070LP

"Tragic Songs of Life was originally released by Capitol Records in 1956, the Louvin Brothers' first long-player with the label. Over 12 succinct Ken Nelson produced tracks, Ira and Charlie--backed by an economic supporting cast--sang tales that, according to reissue liner notes writer Jessica Hundley, 'reflected the torment, tragedy, and terror of the human condition.' Presented with original artwork, contemporary essay, rare period photos, and beautifully re-mastered audio from the original master tapes, Tragic Songs of Life is perfect for late night introspection and intimate moments, but please listen with a friend, you may need someone to hold onto. Despite the upbeat delivery of songs like 'Katie Dear,' there is something sinister lurking in the grooves." Deluxe 180gm LP housed in old school tip-on gatefold jacket. Includes full color insert with period archival photos and extensive liner notes.

Title:	Satan Is Real
Label:	LIGHT IN THE ATTIC
Format:	LP
Price:	$21.00
Catalog #:	LITA 073LP

"Bolstered by one of the most celebrated and startlingly unique record covers ever, 1959's Satan Is Real delves into a strange netherworld of country that no longer exists. Touching on the Louvin's fire and brimstone southern Baptist upbringing, the title track's spoken recitation proclaims the existence of the devil himself. Featuring the iconic 'There's A Higher Power' and 'The Christian Life' (covered by The Byrds on Sweetheart Of The Rodeo), Satan Is Real is thought by many to be the pinnacle of the Louvin Brothers' recording career. It's certainly an album you'll never forget, finally presented once again on vinyl with the respect it deserves: original packaging, new liner notes, period photos, and immaculate audio re-master from the original tapes." Deluxe 180gm LP housed in old school tip-on gatefold jacket. Includes full color insert with period archival photos and extensive liner notes.

"Long before heavy metal put Lucifer in the charts, a country duo from Alabama were telling listeners: Satan Is Real. The Louvin Brothers, aka brothers Ira Loudermilk (1924-1965) and Charlie Loudermilk (1927-2011), were that duo, strumming their guitars and singing country ditties about God and damnation. Long beloved of later musicians such as Gram Parsons, The Byrds, Wilco, they became the most lauded harmony team in country, influencing The Everly Brothers who, arguably, begat The Beatles. Now, Light In The Attic Records give The Louvin Brothers's back catalogue the long-deserved archive treatment, with a double CD compilation of their essential mid-'50s to early-'60s works. On the first disc is the original Satan Is Real album, their Southern Gothic masterpiece from 1959. Inspiring generations with some of the finest harmonies ever recorded, this Louvin Brothers classic is an angelic combination of high lonesome country and dark southern gospel. Meticulously re-mastered from the original tapes with a 40-page booklet and new notes, it includes a free download card for an exclusive Audio Commentary interview with the late Charlie Louvin, recorded in Nashville in June 2010. On the second disc, Handpicked Songs 1955-62, stars of country, rock, folk and more pay homage to the Louvin Brothers by handpicking a track each for this brilliant compilation of archive Louvin Brothers recordings. Each track is performed by the Louvin Brothers. The full list of handpickers includes Mark Lanegan, Graham Nash, Beck, Emmylou Harris, Will Oldham, Lucinda Williams, Jim James, Kris Kristofferson, Devendra Banhart, Chris Hillman, Zooey Deschanel, The Black Angels, Dolly Parton and M. Ward. Here's what some of this esteemed group have to say about the singing Brothers."
