First,thanks for posting this video. The Louvin Brothers did a great job,adapting this song to a up tempo sound/beat. Yet,the message( baptism/christian living) doesn't get lost. It mixes stories from the Old Testement with Christian symbolism. All in all,it's a wonderful song.
Maybe taariqtaariq would like it if everyone went to HIS channel and left the same sort of comments that he seems to like to spew! Please let this hater hear from you.
@taariqtaariq Actually, they were remarkable musicians who brought together the harmonies and stories of a culture we now think of as hillbilly. Give them a chance. The deserve it.
@Aphidboy Amen brother! The Louvins were salt of the earth Country Boys from Alabama! The knocked out scores of awesome songs and are still influencing artists thru their music today. My favorite country duo!
I remember this song very well. I love singing this song very much.. I love playing the mandolin and harmonica with it. The Louvins will also be Legends of Bluegrass Music. Best Wishes LittleCountryDJ
I am 49 and I remember the Louvin Brothers. I had their album "Satan is real" from my childhood and it was destroyed in a fire. This is my favorite song by them. I wonder when it was recorded?
@tinayoung2009 I am 47, and my Dad, had this album when I was a little kid,played it on Sunday Mornings,before Church. My Mom, sold it, at a yardsale, when I was about 21.I didn't know she was getting rid of it. My neighbors-down the road bought it. I tried buying it back.Their brat-ass little daughter, destroyed the album & album cover. In 2007, I met charlie Louvin, we smoked ciggerettes , and talked. I thought of that record/album cover with the Devil on it. It was made in the 1960's.
@glencoe6305 Thanks so much for the information glencoe6305. I will contact the shop and buy one. When you're growing up, you want to hear the opposite of what your parents listened to, but as you grow older, it brings back fond memories.
@tinayoung2009 The "Satan is real" album, was re-released on CD, in the mid-1990's. Ernest Tubb Record Shop in Nashville,TN. has them. You can order over the internet from their site.
@tinayoung2009 Charlie Louvin,83, the remaining one,has Pancreatic Cancer, had a surgery -July 2010, didn't go right. He's still trying to perform, taking alternate treatment, and asking for people to Pray for him.
I love the LB. Go way back with them. Also like Ricky Skaggs version of this song. Another artist--another vision.

Being a "mean drunk and a wife beater" is not a very nice comment to make about someone who is dead.
