I worked with Charlie Louvin for two months in 2006 documenting the recording sessions with my camera and on video
and shot the album cover. I recorded a wonderful video interview at his home where Charlie is talking about the album, his brother Ira and the Louvin Brothers.
Charlie Louvin is an American original and a really special man. The Louvin Brothers created a sound that was to influence many.

This is the original photograph used on the CD cover.
The session was at Charlie's home in Sainville, Tennessee - June 2006
