Walk Right Back: The Everly Brothers On Warner Brothers, 1960-1969
This is very good music but to me if I compare it to the likes of Beatles and Rolling Stones then it is not quite there. Walk Right Back: The Everly Brothers On Warner Brothers, 1960-1969 being a compilation released 1993 is an album that spans their sound between the years 1960 to 1969. In the booklet we get many nice photographs and well written liner notes by Collin Escott. None of the lyrics are included which is a shame and we do not get a list of whom plays what on the album. Even though I do not like this as much as Beatles or Rolling Stones one can not deny that this is very good music and I give it 4/5. 4/5.


True Classics
While one or two can be classified as '60's teen schmaltzy', the majority of the Brothers work is as enjoyable today as ever, and in some cases, more enjoyable. This CD reminds me of just how enduring many of the Everly Brothers songs are.


So Sad to watch good love go bad
were Romulus/Remus, the discoverer's of an empire of teenage passion/heartbreak and youth spend yonder. Everly Bros. Red vinyl autograph books, written in pink pen, with hopes and dreams in the bedroom amidst bunches o' pillows.

Except, the Brothers sang like angels, fought like the devil, and found themselves in purgatory of Warner Bros. recording.

Their first label, Cadence, had the beginning hits, sweet, yearning, and as beloved as twins in a two-stroller. Warners threw money at the boys, they came through with their biggest hit, "Cathy's Clown". After that, a few more sidled up, "Walk Right Back", "Lucille". But the Brit invasion tossed them aside. Ironic, because Beatles,Hollies, etc. . devoted themselves to the Bros. harmony.

This 2 CD set is the Everly Bros. Warner Bros. attempt to get rich. For the most part, the Bros. sound fine , but not in time of the mid '60s' popularity.

Reminiscent
I bought this because I have my 20 year HS reunion coming up this year and my best friend and I used to drive around and listen to the songs on it, so this takes me right back and makes me forget how old I am!.


Among The All-Time Greats Of Early R&R
Then in 1986 they added one more to the Adult Contemporary (AC) charts when Norn Yesterday went to # 17, to go along with three earlier AC crossovers. How special were The Everly Brothers? Well, from 1957 to 1967 they put 37 songs into the Billboard Pop Top/Hot 100 charts, 20 for the Cadence label and 17 for Warner, and in 1984 returned to the charts for Mercury with On the Wings Of A Nightingale, written by Paul McCartney.

They also had ten of their Cadence hits make the Country charts and six cross over to the R&B charts, had one Warner country hit {Ebony Eyes], which also made the R&B charts, and two more Warner cuts score on the R&B charts [Cathy's Clown and So Sad (To Watch A Good Love Go Bad). From 1984 to 1989 they put another six Mercury cuts onto the Country charts, including 1989's Ballad Of A Teenage Queen with Johnny Cash and daughter Rosanne.

Three of their hits - Wake Up Little Susie, All I Have To Do Is Dream, and Bird Dog - made it to # 1 on the Pop, Country, and R&B charts and, outside of Elvis Presley, very few can claim that honour. They also share, with Elvis, Johnny Cash, and Brenda Lee, the distinction of being one of only four to be inducted into both the Rock & Roll and Country Music Halls Of Fame. Now that's special.

The insert contains a whopping eleven pages of liner notes, written by Colin Escott in April 1993, mixed with three more great photographs of the brothers as well as a discography of the contents.

The only frustrating part, at least for this completist collector - especially in a compilation entitled "On Warner Bros. 1960 to 1969" - is the omission of two Warner hits: Don't Ask Me To Be Friends [# 16 AC/# 48 Hot 100 in 1962], and The Ferris Wheel [# 72 Hot 100 in 1964]. Their inclusion, for me, would have made this a 5-star compilation.
