"This CD reminds me of just how enduring many of the Everly Brothers songs are. While one or two can be classified as '60's teen schmaltzy', the majority of the Brothers work is as enjoyable today as ever, and in some cases, more enjoyable."

"Everly Bros. were Romulus/Remus, the discoverer's of an empire of teenage passion/heartbreak and youth spend yonder. Red vinyl autograph books, written in pink pen, with hopes and dreams in the bedroom amidst bunches o' pillows.
Except, the Brothers sang like angels, fought like the devil, and found themselves in purgatory of Warner Bros. recording.
Their first label, Cadence, had the beginning hits, sweet, yearning, and as beloved as twins in a two-stroller. Warners threw money at the boys, they came through with their biggest hit, "Cathy's Clown". After that, a few more sidled up, "Walk Right Back", "Lucille". But the Brit invasion tossed them aside. Ironic, because Beatles,Hollies, etc.. devoted themselves to the Bros. harmony.
This 2 CD set is the Everly Bros. Warner Bros. attempt to get rich. For the most part, the Bros. sound fine , but not in time of the mid '60s' popularity.

"I bought this because I have my 20 year HS reunion coming up this year and my best friend and I used to drive around and listen to the songs on it, so this takes me right back and makes me forget how old I am!"
