This collection of Everly Brothers hits and other interesting recordings focuses on the Everly’s key hitmaking years at the end of the 1950’s.

Album Notes:

Isaac Donald “Don” Everly (born February 1, 1937) and Phillip “Phil” Everly (born January 19, 1939), together known as the Everly Brothers, are country-influenced rock and roll performers, known for steel-string guitar playing and close harmony singing. The duo was elected to the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1986.

Don and Phil Everly are both guitarists and use vocal harmony mostly based on parallel thirds. With this, each line can often stand on its own as a melody line. This is in contrast to classic harmony lines which, while working well alongside the melody, are not as melodic by themselves.

For most of their recordings, Don sings the baritone part and Phil the tenor part. One exception is on “Devoted to You”. Although Don is still low and Phil is high, they switch lead and harmony back and forth. Don almost always sings any lines that are sung solo (for example, the verses of “Bye Bye Love”). Among the exceptions to this rule is the Everlys’ 1965 single “It’s All Over”, where Phil sings the song’s solo lines.

In the late 1950s, the Everly Brothers were the rock ‘n’ roll youth movement’s addition to close harmony vocal groups of which many were family bands. Among the Everly’s famous counterparts in country music were The Delmore Brothers, The Louvin Brothers, Jim & Jesse (McReynolds) and The Osborne Brothers.

The duo’s harmony singing had a strong influence on rock groups of the 1960s. The Beatles, The Beach Boys and Simon & Garfunkel developed their early singing styles by performing Everly covers.
