The Everly Brothers - Stories We Could Tell (1972)

The Everly Brothers were an American country-influenced rock and roll duo, known for steel-string acoustic guitar playing and close harmony singing. Consisting of Isaac Donald "Don" Everly (born February 1, 1937) and Phillip "Phil" Jason Everly (January 19, 1939 - January 3, 2014), the duo was raised in a musical family, first appearing on radio singing along with their father Ike Everly and mother Margaret Everly as "The Everly Family" in the 1940s. When the brothers were still in high school, they gained the attention of prominent Nashville musicians like Chet Atkins, who began to groom them for national attention.
They began writing and recording their own music in 1956, and their first hit song came in 1957, with "Bye Bye Love", written by Felice and Boudleaux Bryant. The song hit No. 1 in the spring of 1957, and additional hits would follow through 1958, many of them written by the Bryants, including "Wake Up Little Susie", "All I Have to Do Is Dream", and "Problems". In 1960, they signed with the major label Warner Bros. Records and recorded "Cathy's Clown", written by the brothers themselves, which was their biggest selling single. The brothers enlisted in the United States Marine Corps Reserve in 1961, and their output dropped off, though additional hit singles continued through 1962, with "That's Old Fashioned (That's the Way Love Should Be)" being their last top-10 hit.

Let me say, for the record. No Everly Brothers, No Beatles. Thank God for 45s!✌😎

[@v-g-z3689]

And no Simon & Garfunkel, and no Beach Boys... and many more.

A great John Sebastian, "Lovin Spoonful" composition!!

[@thomasmarthinussen8978]

Having been recording constantly for 15 years took its toll on The Brothers and they took a ten year break in starting in early 1973.

I am a huge fun of the Everly Brothers. This beautiful video moved me a lot. Thank you very much for posting !

[@EdKazO-Vision]

So good. Reminiscent of Sweetheart era Byrds.

[@mischiefmikeyo]

Good catch definitely a late bryds/flying burrito brothers vibe

[@tantraman10]

written by John "Nashville Cats" Sebastian of the Lovin Spoonful!!

[@loumndzbl7680]

but also which tracks does Clarence white play guitar on?

[@benji274]

As pleasant to hear as ever. Sad to think what would happen to them less than 12 months later :(

[@xboxheavy]

Cool fact: The daugther of Don Everly, Erin, was the first wife of Axl Rose. The girl Axl dedicated "Sweet child o mine" and many others

[@whatevershebrings]

I feel sorry for her

[@annettemoyle6051]

It only lasted a few weeks

[@mr.smithgnrsmith7808]

And an absolute c#nt allegedly…and having to deal with Axl’s crazy ass

[@romin5035]

Every Everly fan knows that

[@spoonful1018]

These two played such most pleasant music - never get tired of them

[@Kowasi]

They made another album that year called Pass The Chicken & Listen, then nothing together for about ten years til the 80s reunion. Mr. Phil Everly released one solo album a year til 1975 while Mr. Don Everly had a country band called the Dead Cowboys. I was hoping to catch a glimpse of Mssrs. Warren Zevon or Waddy Wachtel in the line-up here… they're both on the Stories We Could Tell album. Well… I'm happy to see the Everlys playing one of the songs off it live at least. "Turn it over, Sam…" Superheavyweights!

[@thomasmarthinussen8978]

This live version is better than studio version from the Stories...album!

[@annettemoyle6051]

Wikipedia is wrong, Phillip has no middle name. Phillip Jason is his first son, with Jackie, the first wife

[@cathrinecolwell3303]

You are wrong: Phil Everly Biography. Phillip Jason Everly was born on January 19, 1939, in Chicago, Illinois, USA. Later, he moved to Iowa with his family, and then to Knoxville, Tennessee, in the United States. He lived in California, USA, with his wife and children. Phillip Jason Everly is his full name.

[@annettemoyle6051]

Phillip Jason was born in September 1966

Excelente su look!!!..de la época de hippie..me encantan. Creo que es lo mejor de la música, facinada con su vestuario lucían muy bien con su cuerpo juvenil. La energía, la musica con otros ritmos diferentes, experimentaron renovaron, todo cambió pero les ayudó para reinventarse para lo que vendría en el futuro. ( lo que se ve en los vídeos). Estoy conociendo su historia. Feliz 😄

[@thomasmarthinussen8978]

Too bad the record buying public at large completely ignored The EB in the late 60s and early 70s. Great music!

[@shieldsluck1969]

Uschi Nerke's introducing: "And right here a few, almost legendary hit makers from the past*: the Everly Brothers! with 'Stories We could Tell'." * Yes, that's a touch of irony, isn't it Uschi?

[@carlossilva9049]

Linda música

[@jameslonley]

wow

[@nashvegasnow]

Thank God Jimmy Buffet came along

[@michaelhester1328]

Infuensers of ALL!!!

[@goodtimefolkrock]

This is an early Jimmy Buffett tune

[@alancassaro8400]

John Sebastion wrote it, not Buffet. BJ Thomas also issued a version the same year as the Everlys. John Sebastion played on both studio versions.
