The Everly Brothers were not only among the most important and best early rock & roll stars, but also among the most influential rockers of any era. They set unmatched standards for close, two-part harmonies and infused early rock & roll with some of the best elements of country and pop music. Their legacy was and is felt enormously in all rock acts that employ harmonies as prime features, from the Beatles, Simon & Garfunkel, and legions of country-rockers to modern-day roots rockers like Dave Edmunds and Nick Lowe (who once recorded an EP of Everlys songs together).
This Collection from the Castle label relies heavily on the Everly Brothers early Cadence recordings, but omits most of the duo's hits like "All I Have to Do Is Dream" and "Bye Bye Love." While all of the material is strong, there are far better collections available from this period, including Cadence Classics: Their 20 Greatest Hits, Complete Cadence Recordings: 1957-1960, and Essential Cadence Singles.
