Editorial Reviews

The Everlys were no strangers to country music. So the idea of doing an album of then-contemporary country hits suited them just fine, and, boy, did they take to it, doing great versions of •Oh, Lonesome Me; Born to Lose; Just One Time; Send Me the Pillow You Dream On; Release Me; Please Help Me, I’m Fallin’ (in Love with You); I Walk the Line; Lonely Street; Silver Threads and Golden Needles; I’m So Lonesome I Could Cry; Sweet Dreams, and This Is the Last Song I’m Ever Going to Sing. First time on CD! --This text refers to an alternate Audio CD edition.

5.0 out of 5 stars I can't ask for more!, February 15, 2000

There is no perfect word to perfectly describe this album by the Everly Brothers. 'Great' would fall short of it.

Like their other album, Songs My Daddy Taught Me, this compilation contains some of the duo's lesser known numbers which can't be found in their other releases. Lesser known these songs may be but they sound just as great.

Here the brothers go pure country. Songs by great country stalwarts like Hank Williams (I'm So Lonesome I Could Cry), Don Gibson (Just One Time, Oh Lonesome Me, Legend In My Time) and Johnny Cash (I Walk The Line) are here, performed and given justice by the incomparable duo. A couple of Don and Phil's work (It's All Over, which was a hit for Cliff Richard, and I Wonder If I Care As Much) are also here, able to stand up alongside the other aforementioned country classics.

Don and Phil Everly define what good harmony means and they prove it once again in this album. But damn it, I'm sick and tired telling you what this album is all about. Just buy it!

I've tried all sorts of ways to get this on cd, I've had a version taped on reel to reel from a very primitive record player then on to a casette which finally broke so its wonderful to have this album back in pristine condition.
Since I first heard it inthe mid sixties, I've had Knopfler / Chet Atkins ' Neck and Neck and find their are several songs shared between the two, great version all.

Naturally, Murphy's law has followed me and having spent years trying to track down this album, a local store I'd ordered it through months ago has come up with it same week as you guys have.......never rains but it pours.. its just a wonderful album..... thanks
