Great Songs, Great Musicianship - not for those seeking the Hits........2005-09-22

I've had this album for about two years and keeping coming back to it - the songs are true oldies from the 20's and 30's and the musicianship here is so perfect - Hank Garland, Buddy Harmon, Chet Atkins. The recording quality of Bill Porter is awesome, the Everly's are of course awesome too. I think that if you like "Songs Our Daddy Taught Us" this might be along the same lines, as far as reaching into some unusual material - but of course the production here is huge, a little campy at times. But musicians will love it...put on the head phones and listen to all those great, twangy licks.

Not for those seeking the hits, but even though this was a commercial dud, I think it's worth a listen. The songs are great, the arrangements truly funky, and played with spirit and zest - very soon you'll be singing along. True, some of the songs - maybe only two or three of the 25 plus, are borderline annoying, but all the other ones can be achingly beautiful and well written - keep in mind, a lot of these were hits way back when.

These albums deserve a listen with the persepective we have on them now - if the Everly's see this as a failure, as they were very hit oriented, that's a shame. Listening now, the pressure of hit-making removed, it's really two fine records with some great performances by all involved.

For Die-Hard Everly Fans.......2004-07-18

Some pretty good songs surrounded by too many mediocre songs. Sound quality is very good and the Everlys do the best they can with some less than great material. Buy it to get hold of some really good tracks ( Jezebel, My Gal Sal, Chloe ) that just don't show up anywhere else. Tracks like "Mention My Name In Sheboygan" , well, they could have done a lot better.

Interesting, although mixed quality.......2002-11-13

Two early 1960's studio albums plus some bonus tracks, and several hit singles. They were both "concept" albums, featuring hits of earlier generations, including ragtime and "show tunes". The brothers may have chosen songs that their parents would have been listening to on the radio when Don and Phil were children?

Some of the Everly versions, such as My gal sal, and Chloe, are really great performances, among my favorites. Others performances are too much of a reach - "Love is where you find it", or very pedestrian - "Oh mein Papa".

One highlight is a previously unreleased Hernando's Hideaway. As Everly mentor Archie Bleyer had the first hit with this classic, I'm glad to say the Everly version is a respectable R&R pop song.

Good value for the money, allowing even for the dull songs.

There are supposed to be more of these twofers coming, and the mid 60's R&R albums will probably be more enjoyable, because they feature music that Don & Phil were much more comfortable with.

I buy it for the voices.......2004-12-24

Just after they had recorded their best albums ("everly time" and "date with" in 1960) a very bad event happened to Everlys they split from their agent Wesley Rose.It came through the recording of temptation which Don loved and Wesley found too risky.They would stop recording in Nashville very soon, This had also a main consequence: Everlys lost the Bryant songs.Mainly for legual reasons.Consequence: the next two albums included lower quality songs.But this does not mean at all it's a bad cd as their voices were still at the top,some songs are treasures, instead of all songs (as before). you will never find these songs again anywhere else : just to mention a few, "autumn leaves" is pure gold, "mamy" is close the bests,"when I grow too old to dream" has one of the best plaintive solo by Don. It will take you some time to fully share my view but if you love Everly SLOW SONGS : buy this CD. If you prefer rock n roll songs, rush to buy the upcoming "beat and soul" album reedition, recorded with dynimite pickers (Burton is one of them) and fantastic new drummer (young Jim Gordon) all recorded at LA ...(the joined album called rock n soul is not as good)Everly yours.Thierry

Disappointment.......2004-08-13

First the good news: 78 minutes of music on one CD. Clean sound from original tapes. Nice booklet giving a history and background to the recordings. And yes, the purity and nuance of the vocal harmonies that make the Everlys so wonderful. It is the lousy choice of most of the songs and hokey arrangements that sink this CD. I am sure that Don and Phil lament the circumstances that resulted in these recordings. I listened to the CD a second time to confirm my embarassment for the Everlys and the disc now sits in a used CD bin. Want a really special Everly's compilation ?
