The blending of Don and Phil Everly’s voices is truly one of the great sounds of post war American popular music . Derived from Folk and traditional styles brought to the USA via immigrant communities, their seamless vocal harmonies had its precursors in mid twentieth century duo / family Country music acts such as the Louvin Brothers, Delmore Brothers and many others. The Everlys, however, were able to bring the fraternal harmony approach into themainstream pop market of the late 1950s by dint of their youth, good looks, and that other, far more elusive quality timing.This 3 CD box set contains everything they recorded for the Cadence label in Nashville, from 1957 until they signed to the Warner Bros in 1960, including eleven huge hit singles.The booklet is comprehensively annotated by Alan Robinson .
