	Charlie Louvin - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Charlie Louvin (born Charles Elzer Loudermilk, July 7, 1927 in Henegar, Alabama) is an American country music singer/songwriter.
		Louvin began singing professionally with his brother Ira as a teenager on local radio programs in Chattanooga, Tennessee.
		After Charlie left the act briefly in 1945 to serve in World War II, the brothers moved first to Knoxville and later to Memphis, working as postal clerks by day while making appearances in the evening.

	The Louvin Brothers
		The Louvins' debut single for the label, "The Family Who Prays," was a moderate success (it would later become a gospel standard), yet they were unable to capitalize on its success because Charlie was recalled by the Army to serve in the Korean War.
		When Charlie and Ira were reaching a point of desperation, Capitol's Ken Nelson was able to convince the Grand Ole Opry to hire the duo.
		Charlie was the more successful of the two, with his debut single "I Don't Love You Anymore" reaching number four upon its summer release in 1964.

	Louvin Brothers - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Louvin Brothers were Charlie and Ira Louvin, an American duo best-known as the popularizers of close harmony, a kind of country music.
		The Louvin Brothers' career began in gospel music in the 1940s, with their first foray into secular music being the minor hit "The Get Acquainted Waltz" (recorded with Chet Atkins).
		Ira Louvin was killed in a car accident in 1965 while Charlie pursued a solo career.

	No Depression: Back Issues
		Ironically, Louvin wasn't familiar with the tune when Dawson first suggested they record it, despite the fact that it was the title track of one of Judy Collins' better-known albums in the late '60s (in addition to appearing on a Fairport Convention album during Denny's tenure with that band).
		Louvin's uncommon perspective in both of these instances simply reveals that he's from a different era, when "rock 'n' roll" or "easy listening" or "country" may have carried very different meanings than they do today.
		Louvin's careful distinction between the words "youth" and "young" in that comment mirrors the sentiment put forth in Helen Hudson's "I Wanna Die Young (At A Very Old Age)", the penultimate and perhaps most significant track on the new record.

	Louvin Brothers - A Concert Review by The Phantom Tollbooth
		There was a short intermission, then Charlie Louvin came out and told stories and sang with the house band for about an hour.
		Some of the fingers on his left hand had been damaged in an accident with a friend's RV awning, so his guitar playing was somewhat limited.
		The mandolin player in the house band also sang tenor, which are what Ira Louvin's roles had been in the act, so it was quite touching when Louvin would look over and grin his approval.

		This Charlie Louvin solo collection was recorded as a loving tribute to the legacy of The Louvin Brothers, and features latter-day recordings of signature Louvin songs like “When I Stop Dreaming” (their first hit), “The Christian Life” and “In the Pines.”

	Louvin Brothers Discography -- Joe Sixpack's Guide To Hick Music
		Charlie and Ira Louvin were the missing link between the haunting, somber harmonies of Depression-era "brother acts" such as the Blue Sky Boys or the Delmore Brothers, and the joyous release of rock and roll's Everlys.
