Uncle Tupelo - Atomic Power

The Louvin Brothers started their career in the gospel music. Their songs were heavily influenced by their Baptist faith and warned against sin. Nevertheless, Ira Louvin was notorious for his drinking, womanizing, and volcanic temper. He was married four times; his third wife Faye shot him four times in the chest and twice in the hand after he allegedly tried to strangle her with a telephone cord. Although seriously injured, he survived (wikipedia).
Uncle Tupelo recorded the song for their album "March 16–20, 1992". Peter Buck approached the band after hearing their version of this song performed live.
