Satán es real

Get ready to discover one of the great stories of American music: the beautiful and tragic saga of the Louvin Brothers, perhaps the best and most influential gospel and country duo to ever exist... and without a doubt the most turbulent. Born in the 1920s in Alabama, south of the Appalachians, the Louvin brothers couldn't be more different from each other. Charlie Louvin was a respectful, devoted, and God-fearing young man, but his brother Ira, who had once gone to preach, was tormented by all kinds of devils; Fickle, womanizer, and alcoholic, he built a well-deserved reputation as a "wild man" through his habit of smashing his mandolins onstage, beating up members of the audience as drunk as himself, and insulting Elvis Presley. Charlie Louvin's autobiography, co-written with novelist Benjamin Whitmer, captures in stark detail his childhood on a small family farm during the Great Depression years, when music and religion were the only escape into a rude and brutal existence, marked by the scarcity and the cotton crops. Charlie and Ira found a way out in the terrifying traditional ballads their mother gave them and in the spiritual songs they learned in church, but the explosive and at the same time restrictive environment of country music in the 1950s and 1960s that opened the doors for them. of fame also ended up being his downfall. Satan is real is the epic story of two brothers united by love, hate, religion, the road, blood and music.
