GRAND OLE OPRY TO FEATURE TOP ARTISTS PERFORMING SONGS OF THE LOUVIN BROTHERS
Livin', Lovin', Losin - Songs of the Louvin Brothers: An Opry Tribute Set for Saturday, December 13
NASHVILLE, Tenn. (Nov. 24, 2003) – Some of today’s top stars are stepping onto the Opry stage to pay homage to one of country music’s most renowned duos of all time, the Louvin Brothers, during a special tribute show Saturday, Dec. 13. Dierks Bentley, Terri Clark, Ronnie Dunn, Rebecca Lynn Howard, Del McCoury, Joe Nichols, Jon Randall, and Rhonda Vincent are among those scheduled to appear along with Opry and Country Music Hall of Fame member Charlie Louvin as the Opry continues its winter run at the historic Ryman Auditorium. One hour of the performances will air on “Grand Ole Opry Live” on GAC: Great American Country at 7 p.m. CST.
These performers can be heard performing songs popularized by Ira and Charlie Louvin, and are included on the new collaboration, CD Livin’, Lovin’, Losin’: Songs of the Louvin Brothers, on Universal South Records. The project was released Sept. 30.
The Louvin Brothers, who are members of the Songwriters’ Hall of Fame and were inducted into the Country Music Hall of Fame in 2002, became members of the Grand Ole Opry in 1955. Before Ira’s death in a car accident in 1965, they penned more than 500 songs. Many of those now-classics such as “If I Could Only Win Your Love,” “Cash On The Barrelhead,” “I Don’t Believe You’ve Met My Baby,” and “How’s The World Treating You” can be found on their tribute CD.
Opry tickets are available by calling (615) 871-OPRY or by logging on to www.opry.com. Adult ticket prices range from $44.50-$32.50, and prices for children (ages 4-11) range from $44.50-$22.50.
