Charlie Louvin confirmed

[isaac]

I've got no idea who this guy is, but he's listed to play Bonnaroo on Pollstar, so there's another confirmation.

I found this I think he plays old school country or bluegrass he is on the Grand Ole Oprey so he must be good Hes like 80 years old.

"Guests on the album include Elvis Costello, George Jones, Jeff Tweedy, Will Oldham, Tom T. Hall, Tift Merritt, Marty Stuart, Bobby Bare Sr., David Kilgour, members of Bright Eyes, Lambchop, Clem Snide, Superchunk and more."

Could this possibly mean a Wilco or Bonnie "Prince" Billy add? Seems possible that he will collaborate with at least one of those listed since they are all Roo type bands (at least the ones I've heard of) and Costello and Bright Eyes were there last year.

Wilco or at least Tweedy might be a given, but I would freak if Oldham made an appearance. The bastard never plays venues where I'm living...

He's also done some recording with Willie Nelson. Willie did have to cancel a few years ago, seems like its almost time to fulfill that commitment.

You may have heard of The Louvin Brothers. Charlie was one of them, his brother died in the sixties. I would love to see Charlie play! Check out the album 'Satan is Real' from the Louvin Brothers to get a good taste. Really good stuff.

I saw Bonnie "Prince" Billy in New Orleans last year, and it was amazing. His new album came out in the fall, so it'd be awesome if he was there.

I think this needs to go on the confirmed band list :-) Good find
