Satan Is Real
Author(s): Charlie Louvin, Benjamin Whitmer
Get ready for one of America’s great untold stories: the true saga of the Louvin Brothers, a mid-century Southern gothic Cain and Abel and one of the greatest country duos of all time. The Los Angeles Times called them “the most influential harmony team in the history of country music,” but Emmylou Harris may have hit closer to the heart of the matter, saying “there was something scary and washed in the blood about the sound of the Louvin Brothers.” For readers of Johnny Cash’s irresistible autobiography and Merle Haggard’s My House of Memories, no country music library will be complete without this raw and powerful story of the duo that everyone from Dolly Parton to Gram Parsons described as their favorites: the Louvin Brothers.
Review(s):
“One of the most important and illuminating memoirs ever written by a country singer.”
“I think I’ve already found my favorite book of 2012.”
“Satan Is Real has the best-designed book cover of 2012 .”
“The anecdotes alone offer significance to any person interested in the anthropology of Americana music. Magnanimous without feigning and brusque without malice, Charlie Louvin’s clear-eyed commentary is straightforward and unapologetic.”
“Masterful [and] graceful.”
“Raw honesty, genuine grit, common sense, and smokin’ down-home flavor.”
“A real classic of Americana.”
“The mix of light and darkness that filled their music was mirrored in their lives.”
“[A] chilling portrait of a brilliant musician intent on self-annihilation.”
“Grand themes of life, death, religion, salvation, damnation, human choices and, sometimes, joy.”
