The Everly Brothers - All-Time Original Hits

The lonesome two-part hill harmonies of the Louvin Brothers and Blue Sky Boys were slicked up just a bit and taken to the sock hop by the Everly Brothers. Don and Phil repeatedly scored on the pop, country, and R&B charts from the time they emerged in 1957 with "Bye Bye Love" until the Beatles (great admirers of the Everlys) changed the rules of rock a handful of years later. All-Time Original Hits serves up 16 chart favorites, the latest dating from 1962. The likes of "Wake Up Little Susie," "All I Have to Do Is Dream," "Bird Dog," and "Cathy's Clown"--No. 1 pop hits all--sound as sweet and irresistible today as they did when '50s teens where making out to them decades ago. --Steven Stolder Amazon.com

Wonderful nostalgia

I'm 28 years old and grew up listening to the Everly Brothers since my mother loved them. I practically knew all the songs on here. Since I can't find the classic oldies on my oldies station, this CD works well in the car. May 11, 2008

Walk Right Back - to the store and purchase this c.d.

Hi People. Metamorpho is back, reviewing very worthy music for all of you. With this one, I have to say, that for all the great vocal harmonies we've heard in pop music over the last 50 years - it is all due to the incredible influence of The Everlys. It was a thrill to see them perform at the Simon and Garfunkel "Old Friends" tour. Older, but the vocals still had that rich blend.
Rhino has done a wonderful job here. I looked around for a very long time for a compilation like this - but never found it - probably due to the fact that The Everlys moved from Cadence to Warner Bros. records, and copyrights and whatnot probably interfered with a good collection.
Pretty much all of it's here people, with perhaps a few exceptions. "Bye Bye Love", "All I Have to Do Is Dream"'"Wake Up Little Susie","Let It Be Me", "Bird Dog", and much much more - and in all their original forms. I would be remiss if I did not mention my very favorite by them (and a damn near perfect pop song) "Cathy's Clown".
The songs themselves are prime examples of exceptional 50's-60's songcraft. But, what really pushes this to a heaven on earth experience is the natural blend of Phil and Don's harmonies. Absolutely right - and they hit the nail on the head again and again and again.
Metamorpho can hear the grumbling in the audience out there (you KNOW who you are). They are grumbling that this music is dated and that it's not current, and kids today don't listen to this etc. etc. etc. O.K. Metamorpho feels your pain but I am not sympathetic! No. You have NOT been listening to my wisdom. First off - music is an exploration into sometimes new and exciting areas-- and then there is the belief that if a song is good - it is good for all time. Besides-- being a reflective seer is not an easy thing-takes all my energy - and I would not be reporting the excellence of this c.d. unless I thought it was worthy of your attention.
Anyway - no backtalk! The Everly Brothers created music history and this c.d. is a beautiful reason why. Get wise. Listen to Metamorpho and you'll be glad! Later......... January 6, 2006

Must Have to Complete any Music Collection!

This Everly Brothers compilation is one of the very few that includes one of my favorite EB songs, "That's Old Fashion". The rest of the CD contains all of the usual suspects. I have several EB compilations on vinyl that are as great, but on CD, this is as complete as it gets. July 29, 2005
