The Everly Brothers:

1957-1962: (1987)

This double album is essentially a "Best Of", and a very well done one at that, with all the tracks remastered. When I was about nineteen, a friend of mine's mom was moving, and let me have any of her records I wanted. There were several of these Time Life collections in there. Others will pop up as I continue this blog. What's there to say, the Everly Brothers filled a niche that only they could occupy. Those nostalgic harmonies, dreamy at the time of their release, now echoes of a by gone era. I'm often taken by the innocence in the Beach Boys song, Wouldn't It Be Nice, and I get the same feeling from the Everlys, which makes them a good listen anytime.
