After a four-year hiatus following struggles with alcoholism and his faith &#8212; including being kicked off the main stage of a major Christian music festival &#8212; Bazan returned in 2009 with a new autobiographical [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[One of country music&#8217;s great survivors, Charlie Louvin has a career that reads like a Southern gothic novel. He grew up singing sacred harp music — a harmonically complex form of Southern congregational music — with his brother Ira, and the duo would help lay the foundation for the country-rock movement with their close harmonies [...]]]></description>
