If ever there was an act deserving of a lovingly compiled eight-disc retrospective, the Louvin Brothers are it. In a genre defined by passionate singing, the Louvins are the undisputed masters of two-part harmony. Their repertoire, largely self-penned, is equally impressive: perhaps only Hank Williams Sr. wrote more great country songs during the '50s. And yet, the Louvins' records have frequently been difficult to find. Like many acts of country's classic era, the Louvins were long ago forgotten by the major labels for which they recorded.

Now, thankfully, the world has CLOSE HARMONY, which gathers every studio recording the group released. From the duo's earliest gospel efforts through their secular hits to their breakup in the early '60s, CLOSE HARMONY traces the Louvins' career in chronological order. The accompanying 52-page booklet includes many rare photos, a biography authored by country music scholar Charles Wolfe, and thorough notes on each recording session. All told, CLOSE HARMONY is an exemplary collection, a model for any record company considering a similar venture. The set requires a sizable financial commitment, to be sure, but for true fans of great country music, it's a commitment that will be repaid many times over.

Customer Close Harmony Reviews 




Average Rating: (5 out of 5 stars) 5 stars

5 stars Unmatched!!!!!
This boxed set is the ultimate collection of Ira and Charlie Louvin, the Louvin Brothers. Their duets are unmatched even until this day. The sheer power of their harmonies can not be put into words. Only by listening to these tracks can a full understanding of their music be accomplished. Without any doubt, the often underated mandolin playing and soul rattling tenor singing of Ira Louvin is still a pleasure to hear, even though he has been gone from this world since 1965. Anyone who loves the great sounds of this brother duet team or for anyone who appreciates country music in it's true, unhomogenized and authentic form should own this set.

5 stars ultimate !
Although this collection may seem too massive for less than the serious fan. It contains material not available except by LP from any other source. This is probably the greatest body of work ever recorded by a county music duo. The harmony is incomparable.
