The Definitive Everly Brothers CD.......2007-03-09

This CD is a must if you enjoy listening to two of the great pioneers of Rock and Roll. The whole CD is of great sound quality. All songs are clear. This CD really takes me back in time. I recommend any one that enjoys old rock and roll hits to purchase this CD.

All the hits are NOT here.......2006-11-14

This doesn't have "That's Old Fashioned (That's the Way Love Should Be)", a top-10 hit in the USA. As far as I can tell that's the only Billboard top-40 hit it doesn't have.

From the fifties to the eighties.......2003-10-11

There have been many Everly Brothers compilations, usually covering different periods of their career. Just occasionally, a compilation is released that spans their career and this double CD almost qualifies as one of them. Actually, almost all the tracks here are from their recordings with Cadence in the fifties and Warner in the sixties, though On the wings of a nightingale (from 1984) has been included. Their wonderful but unsuccessful seventies recordings are missing but this collection is aimed at the casual buyer who is mainly looking for hits - and that's exactly what they will get here.

All the classics are here including Bye bye love, Wake up little Susie, All I have to do is dream, Till I kissed you, Let it be me, Cathy's clown, So sad, Walk right back, Ebony eyes, Temptation, Crying in the rain and Price of love, together with many other fine songs including several minor hits that are often overlooked but deserve to be heard - songs like It's my time, released in the late sixties when the brothers were no longer fashionable.

Customer Reviews:

Great Sound, But Skimpy on the Music.......2007-01-04

Rhino did a great job remastering these songs. But <72 minutes on a 2-CD set??? Either give us more music, or put it on a single CD for less $$.

+ 1/2 stars...Not As Definitive As It Should Have Been.......2006-09-21

The Everly Brothers are one of the most influential acts of the rock 'n' roll era, but this recent two-disc set from Rhino is not without its flaws.

BRAVOS: This expands Rhino's 1999 compilation ALL-TIME ORIGINAL HITS from 16 tracks to 30. It includes all of their Top Ten hits, including the million-sellers "Bye Bye Love," "Wake Up Little Susie," "All I Have To Do Is Dream," "Bird Dog" and "Cathy's Clown." [All went to No. 1 except "Bye Bye Love," which peaked at No. 2.]

The Everly's had a huge fan base in England, where they continued to have several hits in the early to mid-sixties that are included here. Released as B-sides in the U.S., "Muskrat" reached No. 20 (1961) and "How Can I Meet Her" reached No. 12 (1962) in the UK. Also, "The Price of Love" failed to chart in the U.S., but made No. 2 in the UK in 1965. [The Everly's last U.S. Top Ten hit was three years earlier!]

BOOS: The Everly's had 27 Top 40 hits in the U.S.; seven of them have been left off this collection. And it's not for lack of room--the 30 songs on this collection could have been squeezed onto a single disc! Missing are tracks like "Claudette," "Take a Message to Mary" and "Poor Jenny."

While Rhino does include their Cadence and later Warner Bros. hits, there is nothing included after 1967's non-charting single "Love of the Common People." The Everly's released five more singles with Warner Bros. over the next three years, including "I'm on My Way Home Again" b/w "Cuckoo Bird" recorded with Clarence White and Gene Parsons of The Byrds; but all failed to chart. They also released a handful of singles on RCA in the early Seventies, including "Ridin' High" b/w "Stories We Could Tell" recorded at John Sebastian's home studio. [Sebastian wrote "Stories We Could Tell" and later recorded his own version with Phil Everly on background vocals.] Moreover, Rhino fails to include anything from their post-reunion era on Mercury. Especially missed is the Paul McCartney-penned single "On the Wings of a Nightingale," which hit UK No. 4 but only hit No. 50 stateside.

Bottom line? This is a great anthology, but if you want the "definitive" collection, you'll have to splurge and get Rhino's 1994 four-disc box set HEARTACHES & HARMONIES. [Running time - Disc 1, 35:08; Disc 2, 36:02] HIGHLY RECOMMENDED
