"Knoxville Girl" was released as a single three years later and reached number 19 on the Billboard Country Singles chart.[1] HistoryHaving previously recorded one single for Apollo Records and a series of sides for Decca, the Louvins signed with Capitol Records in 1952. They recorded over ten singles for Capitol, with the earliest all Gospel songs, before "When I Stop Dreaming" became their first secular release in 1955. Tragic Songs of Life was their Capitol debut,[2] and served as somewhat of a concept album, drawing heavily on artists they admired such as Bill Monroe, The Monroe Brothers, The Blue Sky Boys, and The Callahan Brothers.[3][1] The majority of the songs are tragic heartbreak and misfortune songs and classic murder ballads. Reception{{Album ratings| rev1 = Allmusic | rev1Score = {{Rating|5|5}}[2] | rev2 = No Depression | rev2Score = (A)[3] }} Mark Deming stated in his Allmusic review "...this is a landmark of traditional country music that remains powerful more than fifty years after it was recorded."[2] Don Yates of No Depression magazine singled out the Louvins' version of “In The Pines” writing "It’s perhaps their most powerful rendering of traditional folk music’s bleak vision of a dark and forlorn land, where love is absent and death is the only certainty. It’s the centerpiece of what is arguably the Louvins' finest album."[3] The album is also included in the book 1001 Albums You Must Hear Before You Die.[4] Reissues
