Songs Our Daddy Taught Us
The Everlys had reached their commercial peak when they made this album of sparsely arranged traditional songs, a concept that was quite a surprise from a top rock & roll act, and considerably ahead of its time. It's actually not as enduring as their early rockers and pop ballads, but the singing is superb on their interpretations of standards likeBarbara AllenandKentucky. --Richie Unterberger, Rovi
