Thank you. And I thought they were all forgotten, and until recently was hoping they’d put out another LP. (I guess that album you mention never came about?) Forgotten by the public, sure, but not by the artists, including those as young as Billie Joe and Nora Jones, as tributes keep pouring in. I’ve always known and argued on another thread recently that artists themselves have a better taste than their listeners, don’t listen much to their contemporaries on top of the charts, but more to giants from the history of rock, such as the Everlys.
On another note, 1960 was the year when a lot of others changed record companies. (Not always 1960, but thereabout.) Let’s see, Paul Anka, Duane Eddy, Little Richard, Chuck Berry, Fats Domino, all of the above to the detriment of their careers. The Everlys did very well on the other hand.
The album never came about. Their last studio album was “Some Hearts” in 1988. Not their best work by far - Born Yesterday and EB84 were much better albums.
They did record one song for Andrew Lloyd Webber’s “Whistle Down the Wind” called “Cold” but it is hard to find. I have it on a promo CD where several artists (not the cast) did songs - Bonnie Tyler and some UK boy band were on there as well.
Most of the recent releases have been compilations, some with demos (just last night I was listening to the original demo of When Will I be Loved with Phil singing solo), and their part of the Old Friends Tour with S&G.
1960 saw a huge change in the music industry, not just with record labels, but with artist control, plus Elvis in the Army, Buddy’s death, JLL on the outs...a reflection of the rough year that 1959 was (I know JLL was outed in 1958 but the major fallout was in 1959 career wise).
