The Everly Brothers: 12 Essential Tracks
Look back at Phil Everly's beautiful career in a playlist of his key workRemembering Phil Everly
Phil Everly's death
from pulmonary disease yesterday confirmed the sad fact that the Everly
Brothers will never sing again. Phil and Don Everly, born in 1939 and
1937, respectively, were the sons of country-western duo Ike and
Margaret Everly, and began playing on country radio by the time they
were seven. The Brothers recorded 15 Top Ten hits between 1957 and 1962,
producing a mind-blowing blend of Appalachian harmonies and rock &
roll that influenced the Beatles, Simon & Garfunkel and the Rolling
Stones. We mined our playlists and consulted session legend Waddy
Wachtel, who joined the Everly band in 1972, to create a career-spanning
list of the band's greatest recordings, from massive hits to under
appreciated deep-cuts.
