Everly Brothers CD
It was an old favorite. I bought this for a friend who had been looking for it for years and could not find it. He was amazed that I found it so quickly and received it in such a short time. I gave this a 5 star rating on item and Amazon service It was so simple to complete sale.


utterly unique!
The sentimentality of many songs, before commercial interests started their sickening exploitation, is genuine. If you know and like Cathy's Clown, then it won't make the slightest difference to liking this stuff! This is one of the most honest folk albums I have heard. The words are born of hardship; put to music, like the blues, to make things feel better. The Everly's are (were?) the best close harmony duo on record. They were also fine guitar players with inventive technique and played chords that, in the 1950s, simply weren't in the repertoire of your average popular musician. If you don't like the Everly's, but like American folk, buy this as an album of classic songs sung in beautiful harmony by two guys accompanying themselves on acoustic guitars. If you like the Everly's, give yourself a treat - buy the complete Cadence recordings which includes all these + their early hits + their first album at a bargain price. No other artist has had the courage to drop their hit material at their peak, to sing about where their music comes from. Rick Nelson did it, virtually inventing country rock in the process, but that was after the teeny-bopper hits had dried up. .


all aboard!
Simple arrangements, mostly a strummed guitar. This is purity at its best. All of the production, and hence, emphasis is on the heavenly vocals. If people sing like this in church, I'll offer my soul. One of the only harmony arrangements that fuse together, sounding like one voice. If there Daddy taught 'em these, he was a holy, holy man; the album moves like a steady train. On certain evenings it can bring back how it once was.


A Joy
I am 66 as of the 3nd of this month. First heard the Everly Brothers when I was a teenager. Was overjoyed to hear different songs that I hadn't heard. Nice, really nice. .


Music history
The Everly Brothers demonstrate how their parents' music influenced their own music, much like Johnny Cash does. The only way this CD can be topped is by listening to it on the original record album. This is an Everly Brothers gem that even people who are uninterested in the 50's-style Everly Brothers music, can appreciate.
