The Everly Brothers were the crucial link between the two-part twang of the Louvin Brothers and the hit-bound harmony groups of the '60s, but they were more than that. They were true rock 'n' roll romantics, with a sense of high drama worthy of Roy Orbison and the pipes to back it up. On this set of Deep Cuts, the Everlys pay tribute to their folk and country inspirations including a sighing, stripped-down take on Hank Snow's tragic tale “I'm Here To Get My Baby Out of Jail.” But let's not forget that Phil and Don's rockin' side was revved up by R&B, a fact that comes into focus when they tear into “How Can I Meet Her?”
