Album 7
Tragic Songs of Life (1956)
by The Louvin Brothers
How does one even approach this record? It's a time capsule of a time, that shows that nothing really changes and the heart longs for what the heart always longs for.
At the same time, it has been rendered parody over the past decades by the likes of O' Father, Where Art Thou and A Mighty Wind.
It's very early, pre-rock country. And it's fine. But I don't know why it's in the top of this list. Fine does not equal greatness.
