Not to be missed February 19, 2001

Buying Everly Brothers CDs can be tricky, as lots of the compilations have remakes, live versions, etc. This fabulous CD has nothing but the original versions of 16 great hits, with superb sound quality. "Cadence Classics" is right up there too but it unforgiveably leaves out what could be the best Everly song of them all, Cathy's Clown. No such omission here. Listening to the Everlys' harmonizing and their unique style of acoustic guitar playing, it isn't hard to detect the powerful influence on Paul Simon, at least musically speaking. Lyrically, the Everlys are pretty basic, but it sure works. No rock collection can be complete without at least one Everlys' album, and this one is as good if not better than any.
Every Cadence/Warner Top 20 Hit April 28, 2000

Rhino Records maintained its usual impeccable high standards in putting together this latest collection of the Everly Brothers hit years (1957-1962). This is every Top 20 single the duo ever recorded. And if you don't already own "Cadence Classics: Their 20 Greatest Hits," this release also contains all five Top 10 hits from their tenure at Warner Brothers as well as the Cadence hits.With their tight harmony singing, Phil and Don Everly set the standard for duo acts to follow--especially Simon and Garfunkel who frequently included "Bye Bye Love" in their act. The Everlys were responsible for many early rock 'n' roll classics like "Wake Up Little Susie," "All I Have To Do Is Dream," "Bird Dog," Devoted to You," "Problems" and "Take a Message to Mary"--all written by Boudleaux and Felice Bryant. The Everlys would also be responsible for writing some of their own most memorable songs. Phil wrote "When Will I Be Loved," which would be a huge hit again in 1975 by Linda Ronstadt. Don wrote "Cathy's Clown," "So Sad(To Watch Good Love Go Bad)" and "('Til) I Kissed You." Ironically, after "That's Old Fashioned" in 1962, the Everlys would have only two minor hits in the wake of the British Invasion. But this is not to imply the Everlys are old fashioned. Their music is timeless and no serious music collection is complete without these Everly Brothers classics. If you can't afford the "Heartaches and Harmonies" box set, this is an excellent single-disc alternative. ESSENTIAL
The best 38 minute in rock and roll! February 28, 2000

This is not the most comprehensive collection of the Everly Brothers. But it sure is a one-stop one-disc overview with the best remastered sound to date.The 16 tracks selected are absolute classics, every one of them, and they're collected here regardless of the original labels these sides were on. If you want comprehensive, there's an abundance of Cadence collections, and Warner Archive's Walk Right Back is a 2-disc retrospective on their Warner years. And then there's the box set.

The Everly Brothers epitomize American music at its best. This is the best of the best. A must have for any music lovers collection.
