Satan is Real 1959 Pin

The Louvin Brothers were an American musical duo composed of brothers Ira and Charlie Louvin who got their start in the 1940s as a gospel duo. In addition to gospel music, the brothers would go on to write and perform country and bluegrass as well, releasing more than a dozen albums between 1956 and 1963. Ira played mandolin and generally sang lead vocals in the tenor range, while Charlie played rhythm guitar and offered supporting vocals in a lower pitch. They helped popularize the vocal technique of close harmony in country and country-rock. Although the brothers are remembered today for their musical talent, they are best known for the unusual cover used for their 1959 album, Satan Is Real, designed by Ira Louvin.
