With the possible exception of Flamingos, the Everly Brothers are our favorite vocal-based Rock'n'Roll band EVER. Nothing and nobody - certainly no white performer - ever came close to the celestial harmonies Brothers were capable of generating, case closed, judgment final, over and out. The importance of the Everlies in the development of modern Rock aesthetics cannot possibly be overestimated. They are simply one of the critical pillars of Rock'n'Roll. Regrettably, the better the Everly Brothers became, the poorer they sold. On this, probably the toughest to find of all Everly's mid-sixties albums - the brothers tackle the great country songs by the great country artists: this is the companion album to their 1962 "Everly Brothers sing Great Country Hits", but in a way much more important, reflective and introspective. The siblings cover the songs by Glenn Campbell, Randy Newman and two or three tracks by Merle Haggard in their own inimitable style. The Brothers reach new level of celestial harmonies here, and we guarantee that you will, too. Your rock'n'roll education is (utterly) deficient and flawed without this album. Track listing: Introduction: The Everly Family (1952) --- Mama Tried --- Less Of Me --- T For Texas --- I Wonder If I Care As Much --- Ventura Boulevard --- Shady Grove --- Illinois --- Living Too Close To The Ground --- You Done Me Wrong --- Turn Around --- Sing Me Back Home --- Montage: Everly Family (1952)/ Shady Grove / Kentucky

***

Considered one of the finest early country-rock albums, this showed the Everlys, unlike virtually every other top rock & roll act of the '50s, keeping abreast of contemporary rock and pop trends. In the manner of their 1958 LP Songs Our Daddy Taught Us, the concept was to cover songs by performers and composers who had been influential on the duo (including Jimmie Rodgers and Merle Haggard), traditional standards, and a couple of numbers by Ron Elliott of the Beau Brummels. Although this laid-back, tasteful, acoustic-oriented recording isn't as outstanding as their classic early hits, the vocals are superb, conveying qualities of innocence tempered by experience.

·       CONDITION:

·       RECORD

 (IMPORTANT NOTE: unless otherwise noted, ALL records are graded visually, and NOT play-graded!; we  grade records under the strong, diffuse room light or discrete sunlight)

(a)          WE GRADE THE VINYL AS STRONG NEAR MINT. The original luster is very much intact, and the vinyl shines and sparkles almost like new.

(b)          The record is apparently pressed on a beautiful, thick, inflexible vinyl, which was usually used for the first or very early pressings. Usually, the sound on such thick vinyl pressings is full-bodied, vivid, and even dramatic. Do not expect to obtain such a majestic analog sound from a digital recording!

(c)           The record comes in the original stock inner sleeve.

(d)          Of course, this is a full-bodied ANALOG recording, and not an inferior, digital recording!!!
