Bluegrass legend Charlie Louvin plays free show Friday

St. Louis Post-Dispatch

char.jpgGospel, country and bluegrass legend Charlie Louvin graces Webster Groves this Friday night. The Country Music Hall of Famer will play Gazebo Park in Webster Groves at 7 pm.

Louvin is best known for his steady melody singing in the Louvin Brothers duo of the 1950s and 1960s. Their hits included “Cash on the Barrelhead” and “When I Stop Dreaming.”

 

A tribute CD, “Livin, Lovin, Losin: The Songs of the Louvin Brothers” won the 2004 Grammy Award for Best Country Album.

Charlie’s brother and harmonizer, Ira Louvin, died in 1965 in a car accident near Williamsburg, Mo., east of Jefferson City. He had been returning home to Alabama after performing in Kansas City.
