The Louvin Brothers Quotes

Here in Nashville, they’re griping about the sales of records. They’re down 25 percent. And exactly what’s happened, and they refuse to accept this, they’ve been recording things that the country fans don’t like. They can hype them all they want to, but they can’t make them buy. That’s what’s happening to the sales now.

Ira and I did a hundred days with Elvis Presley, and in the beginning, the first three or four weeks of that hundred days, it was the Louvin Brothers and also Elvis Presley. But then a couple of weeks later – of course, he was on the Dorsey Brothers TV show every Saturday – they didn’t even use his last name. The backdrop of the stage, if the stage was fifty feet wide, the backdrop was that size, and it simply said “Elvis.” And he caught on fire quick and burned very bright for a good long while.
