The Louvin Brothers: Insured Beyond The Grave documentary

[@stevebusch-h8h]

I'm getting old, 56 now.. I discovered these bad-asses about 3 years ago.. I've listened to them 20x, 365 days per year ever since.. they have simply changed how I look at music. I love Charlie and Ira soooo much.. they have changed my entire world & I am beyond grateful to be on a planet that gave us something as special & tender as the Louvins... gawwd, I love these 2 men.

[@danielaberdeen1444]

Just familiarized myself with the louvin brother's...I was born way after their time...my introduction was through Gram Parsons and Emmylou Harris... did they ever create great music 🎼 ! Consider me a fan !!! 👍💯👌 .

[@carmenhardy2629]

That’s how I learned about them too! Been listening to them ever since and never looked back.

[@marywatkins6798]

Unlike most documentaries, this includes complete songs from old footage. Enjoyed this.

[@danbernstein4694]

I still remember the date I first heard of the Louvin Brothers December 26 1969. They have been my favorite ever since.

[@rickyblackburn-n9e]

I plan to sing one of their songs this coming Sunday, in church, "The Great Atomic Power." I'm happy I got to see this film first. They were so talented ; great, great icons of the American song canon.

I bumped into Charlie Louvin in a diner outside of Nashville in 2008.

[@eternallife9786]

I'm a secular individual, I've always loved the louvin Brothers they've had some of the best Harmony's I've ever heard of popular music up there with the blue sky boys with that pure Harmony sound

[@jamestabor7725]

Im in my mid 40s. I became familiar with them through a great podcast called Cocaine and Runestones. If you like this and are interested in the history of country music the best resurched athletic history you will find . No matter the platform. I can't recommend it enough. Theirs an episode dedicated to the Louvin Brother's that i is simply great that introduced me to them.

[@charlesmagers4927]

Can you possibly post a link to the podcast you mentioned I searched for it and cannot find it I would love to see the other documentary and that channel

[@themisfortunecookie]

Isn't the host of that podcast David Allen Coe's son? I love that podcast.

[@Eldorado66779]

Good post Ghostwood. Thanks for the music Louvin Brothers.

[@rickcurtis2983]

Wow, what an excellent documentary! Put together so well with their great music, Charlie's narrative, historical pictures...I just love it, thank you!!

[@thedannyjoines]

Although I wasnt born until 1968, I grew up on this gospel music and that trade mark "Muhlenberg Sound" with the thumbstyle guitar in my hometown of Central City Ky. Merle Travis was my grandpas cousine and Mose Ragar went to church with them. Chet used to visit for the Thumbstyle festival and Paul Yandell did to. Lots of great memories brought back listening to this!!

[@4444Rosemary]

Why did I not see this before? The Louvin Brothers have always been my absolute favorite, and I get around musically. No one even comes close, all time lifetime favorite.

[@randalclarke5487]

They're my favorite too!! This is, I believe, an independent documentary. Best one I've seen on here, or anywhere!!

[@annewiebe9561]

Always my favourite singers Love your harmonizing GOD BLESS YOU.

[@johndavid8815]

My cousins, we sing Sacred Harp at our family reunion in North Alabama. Their parents are buried in Section Alabama.

[@randalclarke5487]

That's awesome!!! I'd love to do that some time

[@RUNNOFT71]

Honest to god can't believe this doesn't have more views. It's definitely one of the best music doc's!

[@johndavid8815]

This was nice, I appreciate it so much. I learned more about my cousins from this. Thank you.

[@stevebusch-h8h]

...and where are my manners??? thank you so much for this wonderful documentary.. I just wish it was 10 hours longer, that's my only complaint, ha!

[@ghostwoodarchives]

Believe me, if I had enough material, I'd go Ken Burns style on the Louvins. I loved making this documentary so much. They feel like family now.

[@ronharrison1776]

I grew up listening and singing their songs .

[@andrewbowen6875]

Man I love the Louvin Brothers

[@1978garfield]

This doc was very well done. I am subscribed and will have to check out your other works.

[@hw4829]

[@fayemarshall7102]

[@DoDayDem]

Really enjoyed this. Footage I never saw before. Well done

[@boorobertson1985]

[@marckroll9544]

Best harmonies, ever.

[@RichardBurns-ln2vr]

Was this recorded at WMPS, 680 a.m. in Memphis, circa early 1950s.

[@lonestarbug]

Loudermilk Brothers! Northern Alabama mountains.

Legends of country and gospel music

[@RomeoVargas-k8b]

Could we maybe say that Ira was the first country rapper? :)

[@SovereignSoulTV]

An amazing documentary!

[@78Rudys]

Absolutely beautiful. Tell it to your friends.

[@DylanLightfoot]

Charlie's memoir is worth reading

[@n.palmerco.7518]

17:08 Ernest Tubb thinking, "oh shit"

[@JMacque]

The Louvin Brothers are the real deal.

[@randalclarke5487]

Best documentary on the Louvins, period. Also, if you can find the Charlie Louvin interview with Archie Campbell on here, there are many insights in that as well 😊

[@zachgates7491]

Charlie Louvin’s Satan is Real is a good read

[@tommeredith7462]

Ira had something else going on that caused his alcohol abuse. Chances are he had a treatable mental health issue especially with modern medicine we currently have. What a shame alcohol addiction caused him such problems.

[@jamesharryward5595]

Brilliant ..... it was the same with 'Joy Division ' they turned my life around for all the wrong reasons ....

[@glencoe6305]

At 16:29 the great Guitarist Paul Yandell.

[@hw4829]

He's terrific!

[@patk1254]

I didn’t hear about why their names were changed from Loudermilk…..

[@johndavid8815]

Because Loudermilk wouldn’t sell at the time. These are my cousins.

[@lonestarbug]

@@johndavid8815 Excellent!

[@johndavid8815]

The Haynes-Wooten family reunion and Sacred Harp singing is in the church where the Louvin brothers parents are buried under the name Loudermilk.

[@DanaTobin-fm3wm]

You know, I'm sorry for the way that things happened to them. But it puts me in mind of something that I just can't get out of my head. Let me start by saying I just love Ira and Charlie's singing, and I'm not trying to cause any problems. But Ira's story, his ways and actions remind me of a dear friend who almost mirrors Ira Louvin exactly. This person was going through life playing music, doing show's and doing quite well. However, they were hiding a secret that wasn't discovered until after death. They were never happy no matter how much success they had. They drank constantly and went through multiple marriages. No one understood why they were so unhappy until someone found a letter that held the answer. They were born what we today know as gay. Now I don't claim to know but I wonder if it could be the same thing? Now, personally, it doesn't matter to me one way or the other. But it might explain his unhappiness. I will always love their music as well as them individually. They were awesome singers.❤

[@haddockpaddock9462]

Interesting post/story, thanks.

[@erebus79]

I think it was described pretty clearly in the documentary. He didn't like to be around people. Probably didn't understand them. Life is pretty tough when you're like that. I know because I'm like that.

[@Firekeeper61]

Hard to touch their harmony !🔥🙏🇺🇸

[@ulrichfriehe3459]

The devil burnt their asses for the cover photo of "Satan is real".

[@uwu-gr7il]

The first time I ever heard them was as a sampled intro to Hank3's Going straight to Hell song and I loved it and instantly looked up the Louvin Brothers full version and it took me way way down south of Mayberry in the preaching department. But it is authentic and easily could have been included on the Brother Where Art thou Soundtrack
