Performer: The Louvin Brothers
Distributor: Int'l Marketing Group Notes: Liner Note Author: Chuck Young. What's accurate about this title is that it does contain 20 songs recorded by the Louvin Brothers. This "All-Time Greatest Hits" business is a total crock. There are a few well-known numbers tossed in here for measure, such as their version of "Great Speckled Bird," "Knoxville Girl," "When I Stop Dreaming," and "I Love You Best of All," but much of the rest are incidental cuts. Still, it is the Louvins, a group who never issued a bad record. This is ok, but there are far better compilations out there for the money. ~ Thom Jurek
With great songs and beautiful, heartrending voices, the Louvin Brothers had everything going for them but hit records. From the early '50s through the mid-'60s, the Louvins released a steady stream of first-rate material but somehow never managed to climb into country's highest stratum of stars. Today their records are justly revered by traditionalists and alt.country fans alike. Ira Louvin was killed in a car accident in 1965; however, Charlie Louvin kept the family tradition going on and off into the 2000s.
