- "Satan Is Real" was released in November 1959 on the budget Hit Singles Records label.
- The album features the Louvin Brothers' signature close-harmony singing on traditional gospel tunes.
- This release came out shortly after their move to Capitol Records, which would yield their biggest hits.
The Louvin Brothers were an American brother duet from Henagar, Alabama, known for their close vocal harmonies and gospel music. In 1959, they were at their commercial peak, having recently moved to Capitol Records and scoring multiple country hits.
