3 1/2 Stars: Everlys' 2nd Album For Mercury,
By D.C. Hanoy (Athens, Georgia) - See all my reviews
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Born Yesterday (Audio CD)
The Everlys 1985 follow-up to 'EB 84' is again produced by Dave Edmunds and features the remarkable Albert Lee on guitar. Highlights include great versions of Rank & File's "Amanda Ruth" and Dire Straits' "Why Worry." The title track proved that Don Everly hadn't lost his songwriting talent. It's a multi-leveled tale, utilizing the loss of love to create an autobiographical tale of being lost in art. "Arms of Mary" is strangely reminiscent of the duo's readings of the classic Boudleaux and Felice Bryant material that put them on the map in the late '50s. Again, the feelings of the past, lost love, and homesickness are the core here, and the Everlys do this modern-day tearjerker supreme justice. "Why Worry", written by Dire Straits' guiding light Mark Knopfler, is a bittersweet ballad that the Brothers sing beautifully. There is a hymn-like, almost gospel feel to the song, and it remains another example of the timeless impact of the group. Also covered are fine versions of Bob Dylan's "Abandoned Love" and Sam Cooke's classic "You Send Me." - All Music Guide

80's Everly Bros. better than ever,
By
This review is from: Born Yesterday (Audio CD)
In the mid 80's the Everly Bros. might have been thought just as another nostaglia act playing county fairs and trying to get by. BUT! Everly Bros. 50's and 60's records influenced every one from Bob Dylan to Beatles to each two part harmony after. They were beloved, but somewhat forgotten until Paul McCartney wrote a minor '84 hit for them, "Wings of a Nightengale". That led to this underappreciated classic, "Born Yesterday". Produced by Jeff Lynne of ELO, the songs include covers of contempory writers and bands such as Dire Straits, choice songs by the likes of Bob Dylan and new ones written by themselves. Song selections fit Don and Phil like a iron fist in a velvet glove. The harmonies of Everly Bros. now have an older, wistful, longing and it sounds achingly bittersweet. Early 45s /LPs/ have that joy of the new and there are plenty of greatest hits compliations of EB, but this is their shinging glory..
and hardly any has heard it. As they sang.. "So Sad.."

Love this album,
By
This review is from: Born Yesterday (Audio Cassette)
I love this album and am very frustrated that I can't seem to find it anywhere! At least you have it listed, but don't have it available. I've worn out two copies and would love to find it new or used, or find most of the songs on another album.
