3.0 out of 5 stars The Everly Brothers "Pass The Chicken & Listen", March 22, 2010

I am a big fan of the Everlys. From the time I was 10 years old and introduced to classics like "Walk Right Back," Crying in the Rain, All I have to do is Dream, Let it be Me, 'Til I Kissed You, Cathy's Clown, etc I believe these guys to be one of the greatest singing teams in the history of recorded music. However this album is only a hint of their vocal greatness. The magic simply is not here. It is my impression the songs are poorly produced as is evidenced by a muddied instrumental sound and vocals that sound more like they are in the background. I am disappointed by this record particularly because I have seen the Everlys live and they have always been phenomenal. Rather than buying this record I recommend listening to the Everly recordings of the late 1950s and 1960s.

This is the disc to get: The Everly's last 2 albums from the 1970's. The production (Chet Atkins produces one of the albums), songwriting and musicianship are first rate. Are all the songs great?...no, but many are. Does it sound like "Bye Bye Love"...of course not. It's great songs in the "country rock" style with the Everly Brothers sound...it will not dissapoint!
