The Everly Brothers were worried. They were having label and management problems, marriage woes and drug troubles. And to top it all off, Elvis was out of the Army and back in the recording studio. No pressure.They responded to this challenge with their almost-chart-topping LP A Date With The Everly Brothers (it reached number 3 on the Billboard Pop charts). I've been a casual fan of the Everly Brothers for some time, but always preferring their slower numbers ("Dream") over their bubblegum pop ("Cathy's Clown").
This album was no exception. I absolutely love the depressing "Love Hurts" and "Always It's You." But I can do without the aforementioned "Cathy's Clown" and "So How Come (No One Loves Me)." Overall, it was a nice piece of pop history that only lasted 30 minutes.
Favorite Tracks: "Love Hurts," "Always It's You" and "Made To Love"
