The blending of Don and Phil everly's voices is truly one of the great sounds of post-war American popular music. Derived from folk and traditional styles brought to the USA via immigrant communities, their seamless vocal harmonies had its precursor in mid-twentieth century duo/ family country music acts such as the louvin brothers, delmore brothers and many others. The Everly, however, were able to bring the fraternal harmony approach into the mainstream pop market of the late 1950s by dint of their Youth, good looks, and that other, far more elusive quality - timing. Alongside the other breakthrough acts of rock and roll's first wave, they were true musical frontiersmen that helped set the template for all that was to succeed them. The likes of The Beatles, the hollies, Simon & Garfunkel, the birds, Flying burrito brothers, Bob Dylan, Elvis Costello, Nick Lowe, Emmylou Harris, through to Billy Joe Armstrong (of Green day) and norah Jones are but a few of the notables whose music Bears the Everly influential thumbprint.
