Title: The Everly Brothers Sing Great Country Hits: VASTLY UNDERRATED !!!!!!
Product review: When released in 1963, SGCH was considered a step backwards in the eyes of the public. It wasn't a typical Everly album with originally penned (e.g. Bodleaux-Bryant) hits, and it came out when the massive stream of Everly hits was on the wane.However, SGCH exemplified the best of what the Nashville Sound could offer. Quality of the recordings was excellent, and more interestingly, many of the arrangements of what one would consider 'country standards' reached some new territories here. Not only do the country arrangements benefit from (what would then be an unheard of) complementary black blues idioms (e.g. I'm So Lonesome I Could Cry) - but the more upbeat songs were the first hints (in fact, preceding by 2 years) the electrified sounds that would be later associated with the electric folk rock sound.and remember, this was 1963.
