Everly Brothers, The

2-CD SET

The Everly Brothers topped the charts in America and Britain in the late ‘50s and early ‘60s with a series of fabulous hits. They set unmatched standards for close harmony, and infused early rock & roll with some of the best elements of country and pop music. The enduring influence of The Everlys’ expressive harmonies is also evident in the work of British Invasion bands like The Hollies and The Beatles (who referred to themselves as “the English Everly Brothers”), as well as folk-oriented acts such as Simon and Garfunkel.

During the peak of their career, the duo recorded unforgettable tunes and smashes like “Wake Up Little Susie”, “All I Have to Do is Dream”, “Bye Bye Love,” “Cathy’s Clown”, “Problems,” and “Walk Right Back,” to name just a few. The aforementioned songs, and many other gems, have been included on this essential 2-CD set, which compiles all of The Everlys’ 7” singles (A & B sides) issued in the U.S. by different labels (such as Columbia, Cadence, and Warner Bros.) between 1956 and 1962. In addition, this collectors’ release contains 11 bonus tracks that were issued on EPs during the same period. The original recordings presented here have been brilliantly remastered to achieve the best Nsound quality.
