Every major hit by a major influence in rock.

It was always hard to get the entire hits by the Everly Brothers on one CD because their 50's records were on Cadence then they switched to Warner Bros. in 1960. This one has them all! They were born to sing. Their harmonies are a blueprint for the early Beatles sound and countless other groups to follow. They had something like 15 Top Ten hits and they're all here. The only slight omission is "Claudette" which was the flip side to "All I Have to do is Dream". But that's a minor quibble when you realize that this is the finest greatest hits collection by the Everlys ever. The sound is excellent! Every hit on this CD is a favorite.

These guys rock!

I know I remember listening to Don and Phil the first time around. Most kids will pass on these guys as really old, but most of the seminal rockers list the Everly Brothers as prime influences. Great music sung by two guys that had it all together in the 50's and 60's.

Early Everlys

Don and Phil were huge stars in the late 50s and their influence on subsequent music was great. But many people think their best work came later. My personal all-time favorite is Bowling Green, released in 1967. This particular compilation covers the period 1957 to 1962, when they were at the peak of their popularity. It includes their biggest hits from that time. Whether it is their best work or not, it is what they will be remembered for. It is great to have the original recordings, so that you can hear them just as were. The price is good too, so if you want to know what else the Teddy Boys and Bobby Soxers were listening to besides Elvis, this is the album for you.
