The Everly Brothers set a modern standard for close two-part harmonies, the kind it seems that only true siblings can reach, and they brought elements of Appalachian folk, country, and pure pop to early rock & roll, all of which makes them far more influential than many people realize. This generous single-disc, 31-track set includes the best and most essential sides of the brothers' early years for Cadence and Warner Bros., including such iconic classics as "Wake Up Little Susie," "Bye Bye Love," "Bird Dog," "All I Have to Do Is Dream," "Cathy's Clown," and many others, all enduring songs that make up the very heart of the duo's legacy. ~ Steve Leggett
