The Grass is Always Blue

It would be impossible to grow up in a small rural community in East Tennessee and never hear the wonders of the mandolin and bluegrass music.  At the time of my youth, one would have also been hard-pressed never to have heard music from the Louvin brothers, Ira and Charlie.  Last month new release, Satan is Real by Benjamin Whitmer (and Charlie Louvin) chronicles the story of singing, fighting, drinking and being brothers.  If this NYT review doesn't draw you in, listen to their harmony.
