Customer Reviews

Music Lover's Delight
I listened to this cd prior to purchasing it for my husband. Wow, the tunes took me back to some fun times. My husband and I sang and still sing to the Everly Brothers songs on this cd. Good times, really.

an album best suited for casual fans
20th Century Masters - The Millennium Collection: The Best of the Everly Brothers is a budget priced album geared toward the casual fan who just wants a small sampling of what these guys could really do! The sound quality is quite good and the artwork is about par for this CD series.

The CD starts off with The Everly Brothers doing great on "Bye Bye Love;" this was one of their greatest early rock and roll hits ever and it's no wonder why! They sing wonderfully; and the guitar arrangement sounds just perfect. They handle the tempo changes very well and I always enjoy "Bye Bye Love" even though it's a melancholy song! "Wake Up Little Susie" is a peppy little ballad that gets the royal treatment from The Everly Brothers; they sing wonderfully of how their late night date lasted a bit longer than they promised her parents it would. Again, the guitar work on "Wake Up Little Susie" is truly excellent.

"All I Have To Do Is Dream" features the brothers performing beautifully on a more romantic, slow dance ballad and they never miss a beat! The Everly brothers had great sets of pipes and this number proves it! "Devoted To You" is another love song with a slow tempo that is perfect for dancing with your sweetheart late at night all alone in your living room. Great!

"Let It Be Me" showcases The Everly Brothers singing so sweetly of love and a love they have for their girlfriends; they harmonize to perfection and the strings work well for "Let It be Me." "Cathy's Clown" is another highlight of this album; The Everly Brothers deliver this with panache and I am very impressed! "Cathy's Clown" is a very solid number.

The album ends with The Everly Brothers performing what sounds like a more recent ballad entitled "On The Wings Of A Nightingale." "On The Wings Of A Nightingale" shines brightly as they deliver this number with all their hearts and souls.

Overall, this is an excellent primer for those who want to know just how great The Everly Brothers really were. I highly recommend this CD for the casual fan and newcomers to The Everly Brothers. More diehard fans will want something more substantial; and that's why this cannot be a four star review.

A classic indeed!
The Everly Brothers were a dream back in the late fifties and early sixties. This is a classic sound from this era in music, and you will love this CD if you like this kind of music. If you have an open mind and like to experience all kinds of music, this sound is beautiful, even today. I could listen to this CD all day long and never tire of the beautiful harmony of the brother's voices. Back then, they crossed over the rock, pop, and country sounds which in my opinion is indicative of superior talent.
