3.0 out of 5 stars Singing too rushed; listen to 1983 Reunion Concert instead, May 20, 2006

This review is from: Everly Brothers Show (Audio CD)

I've always been on the lookout for "Bowling Green," and picked up this CD because I thought it was the same version as performed on the Everlys' summer TV series, but not so. According to the liner notes, this was taken from a 1970 live concert in Anaheim, CA, and the arrangements were such that the songs were sung in a very fast tempo. The brothers broke up their team in 1973, so perhaps this CD reflected the weariness they were experiencing at the time. I recommend buying the 1983 Albert Hall reunion concert if you're interested in hearing the brothers live and at their (mature) best. Don's voice is so much richer and Phil's high harmonies are gorgeous. Check out their VHS biography Rock and Roll Odyssey. There's a clip from their variety show and "Bowling Green" is just wonderful! Also recommend EB 84 (On the Wings of a Nightingale).
