Bye Bye Love

Problems
Gone, Gone, Gone (a forgotten song of theirs from 1964)
Ebony Eyes (their most morose song!)
That's Old Fashioned
Devoted to You
Crying in the Rain
and of course, their cover of Little Richard's "Lucille"…

8) 8) 8)Hi,Crazy Don!"Ebony Eyes"is pretty morose,but i think "Down in the Willow Garden","Lightning Express"and "Put My Little shoes Away'come pretty close.I like "Who's Gonna Shoe Your Pretty Little feet?" a lot,as well as their version of "Memories are Made of this"and "Rip It Up".In the latter,it sounds pretty much like they expect to get some,doesn't it?Cheers! 8)

Because I don't like The Everly Brothers.
Not everybody have the same taste of music.
And "All I Have To Do Dream" is a clssic.
But it also could've been done by Thr Righteous Brothers, Joe Cocker, Dion,etc.
And personally, I don't like much of the oldies.
I'm more into hard rock & new wave.

:o :o :oWho-o-o-o-o-ah!!!!!!!!!!Just wondering how you can have a fave EB tune if you don't like them :(But i don't agree that anyone else could have done that song as well--I think that is what makes it,as you say,a "classic' ;DCheers! :-/

"All I Have To Do Is Dream" just has an eerie sound to it that causes me to feel emotional.
And it's the only song I like from The Everly Brothers.
Though I look at them as a frothy  pop duo from the early 60's.
I'm more into prolific 60's artists like Bob Dylan or The Beatles.
The Everly Brothers weren't that important.
Their other hits aren't even that memorable.
Probably to fans like your self, but not my type of listening.

Wake Up Little Susie was always a fave to play in one of my bands...I also love Cathy's Clown and All I Have To Do Is Dream

All I Have To Do Is Dream


****melt****  knees go weak.... :D


I like alot of their hits, but I got kind of sick of
"Cathy's Clown" (seems played more than others - and just not as good a groove IMO, maybe too much screeching?).  It's good but the bottom of the list of Everlys for me.

:D :D :DThat's how i feel about their version of "Memories Are Made of this"and "Who's Gonna Shoe Your Pretty Little Feet?".BTW<"Always It's You"is the flip side of "Cathy's Clown"--you might like that better.I like "Nancy's Minuet"too--it really deserved to be a hit!Cheers! 8) 8)

Ugh. Great Country Hits. It's not so much that I don't like the idea, but some of the song selection on the album could have been better. On the original 1963 release:

   1.   Oh, Lonesome Me
   2.   Born to Lose (Brown/Daffan)
   3.   Just One Time (Gibson)
   4.   Send Me the Pillow
   5.   Please Help Me, I'm Falling (Blair/Robertson)
   6.   I Walk the Line (Cash)
   7.   Lonely Street (Belew/Sowder/Stevenson)
   8.   Silver Threads and Golden Needles (Reynolds/Rhodes)
   9.   I'm So Lonesome
   10.   Sweet Dreams (Gibson)
   11.   This Is the Last Song I'm Ever Gonna Sing

The definite highlight being track 3. Or track 7. Or something... >grin<

8) 8)I liked "Sweet dreams"too.i do have the LP,but i wish warners would hurry up and get out the next double album CDs for US.It's beena long time!Cheers! :D

Quoting:
Indeed it is. Their first Warner Brothers' 45. Record number 5151.

The flipsides of their Warner Brothers recordings:

http://everlybrothers.com/html/disc.html#Warner

I actually prefer a lot of the flipsides to the singles themselves.

Just for a starting list:

I probably prefer AIY to Cathy's Clown

Stick With Me Baby I've found my ears agree with more than Temptation (though I love them both)

It's Been Nice (Goodnight) which I prefer to I'm Afraid

Love Her better than The Girl Sang The Blues (I hadn't heard the latter until recently. The former was a minor Walker Brothers hit, I believe.)

Hello Amy is one of my top unlisted tracks. I took a long time to get into
Ain't That Lovin' You Baby.

Don't Forget To Cry I prefered to The Ferris Wheel. Pretty close now.

A few others...

I still have to pick up:

The Devil's Child/She Never Smiles Anymore (either or both)

Talking To The Flowers (flipside of Mary Jane)

A Voice Within (flipside of Love Of the Common People)

RCA Recordings:

I have heard all these tracks:

Ridin' High I had on Audiogalaxy before it cut me off.

Stories We Could Tell, Lay It Down, Paradise from the RCA greatest hits.

Not Fade Away I heard and recorded straight on the off-chance.

I've still got a lot to hear of their later Mercury/Polygram material post 1984.

Their singles of the time were:

On The Wings Of A Nightingale/
Asleep I've got the former on the white CD.

The Story Of Me/The First In Line I used to have TFIL on AG, but no longer on CD.

Born Yesterday/Don't Say Goodnight Neither I own on CD as yet, I've tracked down the vinyl, though... DSG was one of my favourite later tracks.

These Shoes flipsided on I Know Love The flipside was one of two Neary/Photoglo tracks on the respective CD release, and had one of my favourite chorus/verse counterbalances. I am yet to hear the former.

The 12 inch promo I Can't Help It I also picked up from AG on the offchance.

I've also picked up most Don and Phil solo recordings, except for:

Don

Tumblin' Tumbleweeds/Only Me (Ode)

Yesterday Just Passed My Way Again/Never Like This

Phil

Better Than Now I prefer to the A-side New Old Song)

I need to hear both of Words In Your Eyes/WTBPBI Ragtime

Phew... all those tags.
