Modern Harmonic

An American country vocal/harmony duet, consisting of brothers Ira and Charlie Loudermilk. Their professional career began after winning a talent contest by singing "There's a Hole in the Bottom of the Sea." They were signed by Capitol Records after brief stints on Apollo, Decca, and MGM. Initially focused on gospel music, they transitioned to country with their 1955 release of "When I Stop Dreaming." However, their journey came to an end in 1963 due to Ira's volatile temper. Following the breakup, Charlie embarked on a successful solo career while tragedy struck when Ira was killed in a car wreck in Jefferson City, Missouri on June 20, 1965. Posthumously released songs from his solo album showcased his immense talent.
The Louvin Brothers received well-deserved recognition for their contributions to music. In 1991, they were inducted into the Alabama Music Hall of Fame and later honored with induction into the prestigious Country Music Hall of Fame in 2001.
Similar artists who share the harmonious spirit and genre include Charlie Louvin, Jimmie Rodgers, The Delmore Brothers, Roy Acuff, Webb Pierce, Red Foley, The Carter Family, Kitty Wells,

Thirty tracks totaling over an hour of unheard historic recordings from the legendary Louvins! We're always the optimists who want to believe that there are significant caches of previously unknown recordings by artists who've passed or long since made their best work. Not just alternate takes or juvenilia, but truly undiscovered great music. In the case of the Louvin Brothers, this is it. Charlie was clear that he and Ira had no thought that their music would be heard decades later; they just wanted to sell some publishing. They believed that no one would hear these recordings except some label guys, artists, and Acuff-Rose. Ten or fifteen people perhaps. But they performed with shimmering intensity and exactness. That was their way.\n\nA rich, spectacular addition to the Louvin legacy, Love &amp; Wealth: The Lost Recordings presents 29 new recordings (plus a warm, spoken audio letter from brother Ira) originally captured as songwriting demos in the '50s, then filed away for the next six decades. More than just quick takes on new tunes, these are fully realized performances that rival the best of their official discography! This treasure chest of legendary recordings has been mastered by Joe Lizzi and Bob Irwin, cut by Kevin Gray, and pressed onto flawless RTI vinyl! Those two LPs comfortably rest in a stunning gatefold jacket (they even have printing IN the pockets), with euro-jacket inner sleeves all featuring copious notes from music historian Colin Escott and stunning photos from the Country Music Hall of Fame!
