5.0 out of 5 stars The dark side of an Everly Brother., September 7, 2001

This review is from: Sunset Towers / Don Everly (Audio CD)

This album shows that there's more to Don Everly than being just an Everly Brother. Unlike his brother Phil, Don has managed to write and perform a considerable number of songs that go beyond the usual teenage romance that he and his brother were (and indeed still are, at 60+) used to perform. This 2-album CD is pretty slow and actually hard to get through, but will stick with you in the long run. It is an excellent Roots follow-up, and one wishes that the everlies had done more of this kind. It actually makes it that much more interesting to listen to the original Everly Bros. It shows the dominant role of this brother: the country lyrics and experimental country-rock music that are present on this CD can be traced back to the developments that Don went through in his early Everly Brother years. It shows which of the two was the most dominant. But this CD also shows that although his brother Phil seemed artistically less prominent, without him, an Everly album becomes lonesome and almost dark. That's how I would qualify this album: lonesome, introspective, dark, and ... brilliant. A brother in search of his roots as an individual.
