The Everly Brothers – It’s Everly Time!

Description

Limited edition 180g vinyl audiophile pressing + 4 bonus tracks, high-definition premium vinyl for super fidelity.

One of the greatest vocal duos of all time, The Everly Brothers’ close harmonies became one of the most identifiable sounds of the late 1950s and early 1960s. They set unmatched standards for close harmony, and infused rock & roll with some of the best elements of country. Don and Phil Everly sang of young love with a heart-rending yearning and compelling melodies. The harmonies owed audible debts to the Appalachian folk tradition but were imbued with modern pop sensibilities that made them more accessible without sacrificing any power or beauty.

Long unavailable on vinyl, this quintessential collector’s edition includes The Everly Brothers’ second LP, It’s Everly Time, originally released by Warner Brothers in 1960. Here the duo enjoys a top-notch support team of producer Archie Bleyer, and great Nashville session players like Chet Atkins, Floyd Cramer, James Clayton, and Buddy Harman, Jr., among others.

There is not a weak song among the 12 tracks, most of which are barely known outside of serious Everly fans. The album includes six stellar contributions by the song-writing husband and wife team ofBoudleaux and Felice Bryant, one of Don Everly’s best compositions (“So Sad”), and incredible harmony singing throughout. In addition, we have included 4 bonus tracksfrom the same period.

The Everly Brothers will always be remembered as prototype roots-level rock & rollers. Their timeless music remains as pertinent today as the day it was recorded.
