Close Harmony Music Review

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.
