4 Stars: The First & Best of Their Three Mercury Albums In 1983, enough water had flowed under the bridge for the two to resume performing and recording together. The Everly Brothers spent most of the 70's performing solo, which only proved - as is so often the case in close-knit artistic partnerships - how much each brother needed the other to sound his best. The tours, with a backup band led by guitarist Albert Lee, proved they could still sing well. The records were good efforts and Paul McCartney even penned a small hit single for them ("On the Wings of a Nightingale").
In 1984 The Everlys made a commercial and artistic comeback with 'EB 84. ' With Dave Edmunds producing, Phil and Don brought their sound into the '80s while maintaining their trademark harmonies. In addition to the McCartney song, other highlights include Jeff Lynne's ethereal "The Story of Me" and three Don Everly originals. 'EB 84' proved the brothers had more to offer than simply nostalgia. - Richie Unterberger/J. P. Ollio, AMG

Don't look back
It is a good album. This was the Everly Brothers "comeback" album. I especially like the Everly's version of "Lay, Lady, Lay". Here is the track listing:
1. On the Wings of a Nightingale
2. Danger Danger
3. Story of Me
4. I'm Taking My Time
5. First in Line
6. Lay Lady Lay
7. Following the Sun
8. You Make It Seem So Easy
9. More Than I Can Handle
10. Asleep.
