The Dixon Brothers, composed of Dorsey Dixon and Howard Dixon, were an influential American country music duo known for their close harmony singing and traditional string band sound. The brothers were active primarily during the 1930s and were part of the early wave of musicians who contributed significantly to the development of country music in the United States. Born and raised in Darlington, South Carolina, Dorsey (1897–1968) and Howard (1903–1961) drew upon their experiences growing up in the rural South, infusing their music with themes of hardship, faith, and everyday life.

The Dixon Brothers' repertoire consisted of traditional folk songs, original compositions, and renditions of popular tunes of the day, often featuring Dorsey's resonator guitar and Howard's acoustic guitar. Their song "Weaver's Life," reflective of the struggles of textile mill workers, showcases their ability to capture the spirit of their era, while "How Can A Broke Man Be Happy?" displays their knack for addressing economic hardships through a musical lens. Their body of work was later compiled and preserved for future generations with releases such as "Dixon Brothers Vol. 2 (1937)," epitomizing their enduring legacy in the pantheon of early American roots music, influencing generations of musicians who would carry the torch of traditional music forward.
