EVERLY BROTHERS

Everly Brothers - Down In The Bottom, The Country Rock Sessions 1966-1968 [2020] (3 x CD's)

With an Americana music pedigree born of their Appalachia roots, The Everly Brothers ably crossed over from the pop charts to the country music charts during their hit-making heyday. During the mid sixties however they suffered a lean spell for commercial success all the while trying to update their sound. RPM focusses on the following period from November 1966 - November 1968 when the Everlys recorded mostly in Los Angeles rather than Nashville with the duo searching for a musical direction. CD1 presents the The Hit Sound album, recorded from December 1966 onwards, with contemporary rock 'n' roll and pop covered in Everlys harmony style updated with the cream of the LA session crew including Glen Campbell, Larry Knechtel, Ray Pohlman, Hal Blaine. Includes bonus tracks. CD2 presents the Sing album, the Everlys and their label Warner's response to the prevailing 'youthquake' band sound straddling the transatlantic. On the album are songs by The Buckinghams, Patrick Campbell Lyons, Procul Harum. Includes bonus tracks. CD3 presents the Roots album, pieced together from the LA sessions at studios like Goldstar, conducted by Lenny Waronker during April-September 1968, again with the Wrecking Crew aided by Van Dyke Parks and James Burton. The Everlys took the chance to pay homage to their country roots with songs by contemporary country writers Merle Haggard, Glen Campbell, George Jones as well as more from their own pen. In addition, amongst the bonus tracks here, from the November 1968 sessions held after Roots, are Neil Young's 'Mr. Soul' and Dolly Parton's 'In The Good Old Days'. Waronker had produced Newman in pre-Harpers Bizarre band The Tikis, and with Van Dyke Parkes the subsequent solo album by Newman.

These albums sum up the state of the Everlys in the late 60s. They were making great music. They had the best support musicians, great production, mostly astute song choices & their voices were as good as ever. They were continually innovating their sound to remain contemporary. But they had fallen out of fashion & whatever they did, it was their fate to be ignored by reviewers & radio. Of the 3 albums, 'Roots' stands out as a seminal work in emerging country rock at the time. Over time it gathered very positive critical reviews, but it did not sell as well as it should.
As the excellent liner notes make clear, Their last album was the mediocre live album ' The Everly Brothers Show.' A shame when there was such a wealth of very good unreleased material, as evidenced by the eventual release of 'The New Album' in 1977.  A wonderful box set, thanks to everyone involved for its release.
