I could listen to the Everly Bros all day All the great songs and there special harmony that can't be duplicated. I sure brings back memories of listening to the old am radio my Mamma played. Love the album. . . uh CD. I forgot what century it was for a minute.
Great CD
I found this CD, purchased a used one, and have been so pleased. My husband and I had just seen the Everly Brothers Reunion on GA Public TV and enjoyed the concert so much that we decided to order to CD. The quality of the music is wonderful. Their harmony is just unbelievable. This CD has all their hits and is definitely worth purchasing if you're looking for their classic hits. Brings back so many memories.
Great Value Priced CD
However, really liked them and I couldn't get the song, (Till) I Kissed You, out of my head. Saw a TV Show not long ago with the Everly Brothers in concert and hadn't really ever though much about them, they were before my time. So I bought the CD for my girlfriend, come to find out they have a lot of songs that we liked and had heard, but never really paid that much attention too and didn't know that they sung them. It's a great CD for the money, but I do hate the Eco-Friendly Packaging.
Music Lover's Delight
Wow, the tunes took me back to some fun times. I listened to this cd prior to purchasing it for my husband. My husband and I sang and still sing to the Everly Brothers songs on this cd. Good times, really. .
an album best suited for casual fans
The CD starts off with The Everly Brothers doing great on "Bye Bye Love;" this was one of their greatest early rock and roll hits ever and it's no wonder why! They sing wonderfully; and the guitar arrangement sounds just perfect. 20th Century Masters - The Millennium Collection: The Best of the Everly Brothers is a budget priced album geared toward the casual fan who just wants a small sampling of what these guys could really do! The sound quality is quite good and the artwork is about par for this CD series. They handle the tempo changes very well and I always enjoy "Bye Bye Love" even though it's a melancholy song! "Wake Up Little Susie" is a peppy little ballad that gets the royal treatment from The Everly Brothers; they sing wonderfully of how their late night date lasted a bit longer than they promised her parents it would. Again, the guitar work on "Wake Up Little Susie" is truly excellent.
"All I Have To Do Is Dream" features the brothers performing beautifully on a more romantic, slow dance ballad and they never miss a beat! The Everly brothers had great sets of pipes and this number proves it! "Devoted To You" is another love song with a slow tempo that is perfect for dancing with your sweetheart late at night all alone in your living room. Great!
"Let It Be Me" showcases The Everly Brothers singing so sweetly of love and a love they have for their girlfriends; they harmonize to perfection and the strings work well for "Let It be Me. " "Cathy's Clown" is another highlight of this album; The Everly Brothers deliver this with panache and I am very impressed! "Cathy's Clown" is a very solid number.
The album ends with The Everly Brothers performing what sounds like a more recent ballad entitled "On The Wings Of A Nightingale. " "On The Wings Of A Nightingale" shines brightly as they deliver this number with all their hearts and souls.
Overall, this is an excellent primer for those who want to know just how great The Everly Brothers really were. I highly recommend this CD for the casual fan and newcomers to The Everly Brothers. More diehard fans will want something more substantial; and that's why this cannot be a four star review.
