Uncut gives The Louvin Brothers 5 stars

The Louvin Brothers: Satan Is Real & Handpicked Songs 1955-62
(Light In The Attic)
“This fervent collection, including rural classics like the title track and “The Christian Life”, is now appended by a bonus disc of Louvin tunes picked by famous as diverse as Beck, Mark Lanegan, Devendra Banhart, Emmylou Harris, Dolly Parton and Will Oldham…Of a dozen new reissues, it’s heartening to see some lesser-known titles given another go around.”
