Another DCC Winner!
Don and Phil Everly were Rock and Roll pioneers. Focussing on tight harmonies and country based melodies, they influenced such artists as the Byrds, Beach Boys, Searchers and the Eagles.
DCC Compact Classics and Steve Hoffman have done a wonderful job in selecting most of their biggest hits to 1961 and using their vacuum tube technology to bring them to life. Most of us think of the music from the 50s and early 60s as the tinny, scratchy 45s or transistor radio sound we grew up with. This CD shows that recording studio technology was quite good, but it was the transfer to vinyl where most sound was lost. On this CD, there is lots of depth and space between the instruments and Don and Phil's voices are angelic.
A must for any music historian or even if you just like to sing along ("Wake up little Suzie....").Read full review...
Beautiful Harmonies
Although the titles on the disc are far from "the best", the quality of sound is very good. Even the Everly's hate "Bird Dog". The voices are distinguishable and the harmonies seem separated but vibrate like never before. I'm not happy with the song selection but love the quality.Read full review...
