Tragic Songs of Life
The Louvin Brothers

Ultimately a rather competent 1950s country album that provides a good listening experience, long as you're actively listening to the lyrics. The instrumentals are bright and cheery and do a good job setting the tone of the Appalachia/blues style of country on the record. But the lyrics ultimately round out the listening experience, and live up to the album's name - "Knoxville Girl" in particular is delightfully morbid.
