CD Reviews

From the fifties to the eighties
Peter Durward Harris | Leicester England | 10/11/2003
(5 out of 5 stars)

"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.



All these tracks are available elsewhere though some are not easy to find. This is a superb collection with no serious omissions, except That's old fashioned, which was an American top ten hit but not a British hit. If you only want one collection of Everly Brothers music, this one has everything you will need."
All the hits are NOT here

"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."
