Live At Shake It Records

Charlie recorded this live album in May 2007 during a non-stop tour in support of his acclaimed new album on Tompkins Square.

In fact, this past year has seen the 80 year old tour with Lucinda Williams, play major festivals like Bonnaroo, share bills with Ryan Adams and Neko Case, and release a video for the song "Ira". The Louvin Brothers songs featured on Charlie Louvin, and on this live CD, have been handed down by Gram Parsons, Johnny Cash, The Byrds, Emmylou Harris and Uncle Tupelo, and recently made it into live sets by the likes of Beck and Jack White. Charlie's influence on a new generation is clear. This live set captures Charlie at one of his many "in store" appearances. It's a stripped down field recording from a true living legend.
