What do you think about this CD??
I've heard for a while about the CD called "Livin', Lovin', Losin'" which is a tribute to the Louvin Brothers with the songs performed by various artists. I bought it today at the local record store. I'd never heard it before and I told a friend of mine about it and he said "The producer's an @$$hole, Jimmy Capps and Paul Yandell played all that fingerstyle guitar on the original recordings and there's none there. The Louvin Brothers didn't use any steel either" or something like that. That's what prompted me to post this. I think the CD's brilliant. I'm probably the world's most ardent LB fan as I have most of their music on LP, Cassette, or CD but I think this one's really a keeper. I especially like "Are You Teasing Me" by Patty Loveless and Jon Randall. My next favorite on it would be "You're Running Wild" by Larry Cordle, Carl Jackson, & Jerry Salley. "New Partner Waltz" featuring Linda Ronstadt and Carl Jackson is great also. What do you think? I'd really like to know....JH

I heard the same complaint also, but I don't care!
I think this record really honors the music of the Louvin Brothers, it contains great music and I will listen to it many more times.
If somebody else doesn't like it, it's their opinion, not mine.
Kind Regards, Walter

As a listener of music and not from the view of a music historian - I enjoy it very much. Some really great pairings and some nice back-up. I find it a pleasure to listen to - wheather it is "historicaly" accurate or not. (How many Irving Berlin tunes are done exactly as he wrote them?)
Not trying to start anything, just my opinion on a record.

I can tell you one thing.........Charlie Louvin loves the CD and he's VERY opionated. Of course, this new tribute has started his phone ringing again and that makes him like it even more.<FONT SIZE=1 COLOR="#8e236b"><p align=CENTER>[This message was edited by Mike Headrick on 24 February 2004 at 07:04 PM.]</p></FONT>

Merle Haggard does an outstanding job on "Must You Throw Dirt in my Face". The more I listen to this one the better I like it. Also there's some great steel work by Mike Johnson. The only other player I'd heard of on the sessions was Adam Steffey who used to play mandolin for Allison Krause...JH

I haven't had a chance to hear this CD yet, but plan on purchasing it. If my guess is correct, the producer is Carl Jackson? If so, he is a fellow Mississippian from Louisville, Mississippi. He is a very nice gentleman that I have worked with at the Jimmie Rodgers Festival here in Meridian and Louisville. Great songwriter too. I'm sure that the CD is great.

I was given this CD as Christmas gift. I have played it over and over. I was disappointed that Jimmy Capps, or someone capable of playing the Paul Yandell style of guitar, wasn't included in the musician line-up on at least a couple of the songs. "I Don't Believe You've Met My Baby" being one. But, even with Carl Jackson's decision to exclude this important part of the Louvin's sound, I feel he did a great job! Mike Johnson's steel playing on this project is a real treat in itself! One of the best CD's I've heard in a long time!

This CD is one of them GOLD CD's that you place in the front of the CD case for easy access. Definitely "A" list. Classic country done by contemporary artists. Some CD's you pay $15.00 for and they have maybe (a dollar's worth of) one good tune. This CD is available at WalMart for around $13.00 and it provides $100's of musical enjoyment.

I haven't heard an album this good in a long time!
I grew up hearing Louvin Bros tunes on the radio (a little disappointed "Knoxville Girl" was left off the cd )
It's hard to pick a favorite .. I'd have to put "When I Stop Dreaming" (Glen Campbell & Leslie Satcher) right up there with "Must You Throw Dirt In My Face" (Merle Haggard & Carl Jackson).
Hell, they're all potential chart singles!
Good job, Carl Jackson & Kathy Louvin!
