Cadence Classics: Their 20 Greatest Hits

Editorial Reviews
Amazon.com
Had rock & roll never happened, the Everly Brothers would probably have become famous as straight-ahead country artists in the tradition of such sibling acts as the Blue Sky Boys and the Louvin Brothers. Once Elvis, Carl Perkins, and crew hit, however, the Everlys joined the budding rockabilly ranks in 1957 and became not only huge stars, but the most influential two-part harmony team of all time. This sterling 20-track collection features all their early hits, from "Bye Bye Love," "Wake Up Little Suzie," "Bird Dog," and "Devoted to You" (all written by the great Boudleaux Bryant) to Roy Orbison's "Claudette" and their own sparkling originals "Til I Kissed You" and "When Will I Be Loved." --Billy Altman

Never knew what i missed.......2004-01-20

This is an excellent CD featuring 20 of the Everly Brothers best recordings for Cadence Records. There isn't a bad song in the bunch. The only quibble I have is that they could have fit at least 10 more songs on the CD. "Be Bop A-Lula", for instance, is a great song that got left off. Still, 20 songs is more than a lot of Greatest Hits CDs include, so I recommend getting this CD.

What Did I DO THIS?.......2002-12-08

The Everly Brothers was Wild in 1954. They Broke Up in 1973 in 19 years. Terry And Dana Stop at 67-year-old Dino Died in His Heart Attack on the Backseat in the van on Aug. 8, 1991. Dana was Crying and get a Record Like "Wake Up Little Susie" Terry Told Dana Stop at Her Room in '91. Dana Look at the Newspaper and Said "Dino Lawrence was Dead" and "The Everly's Second MCA no. 1 hit. "Diane"" Their Hits "Maybe Tomorrow" "All I Have to Do is Dream" "Claudette" "Bird Dog" "Devoted To You" "Bye Bye Love" "I Wonder if i Care As Much" "This Little Girl Of Mine" "Should We Tell Him" "Problems" "Love of My Life" "(Til) I Kissed You" and Oh What a Feeling."

The Everly's at the peak of their career.......2000-05-08

The Everly Brothers did their very best work on the Cadence label, and this collection puts together their best known cuts and some superb lesser known tracks.

All of the big cross-over hits are here, led by Bye Bye Love, Bird Dog and All I Have to Do is Dream. No one could put the pain of a failed romance into music like the Everly's, be it the eternally hopeful sound of When Will I Be Loved or the agonizingly heart-broken I Wonder If I Care As Much. Still, they weren't afraid to have fun with their music either, and the playfully cute lyrics of Poor Jenny, Problems and I Kissed You help offset the often somber tone of the album.

If you are an avid fan of the Everlys, you will love this collection. If not, you owe it to yourself to discover just how good they really were. Cadence Classics: Their 20 Greatest Hits is just the ticket to do it with.

Worth 10 Stars.......1999-09-07

This is probably their best collection of hits, and the Everly Bros. beautiful harmonies are still as timeless as ever. Now I am asking for help from other Everly Bros. fans-would anyone out there know where I can find their Christmas album-Christmas With The Everly Brothers & the Boys Town Choir-either on vinyl, cassette or cd? I am asking a few mos. ahead of the holiday season in case I there is hope of eventually finding it in time for Christmas. If anyone can provide a few tips it would be greatly appreciated.

Great Duo/Great Songs.......1999-08-24

Some of the finest songs of the late 50s and early 60s. Their influence can be felt on many important groups which followed them. You may have heard of the Beatles and Simon and Garfunkel.
