Gone Gone Gone\n2005 Collector's Choice Music\n\nCompilation Released October 11, 2005\n"Sing Great Country Hits" LP Originally Released October 1963\n"Gone Gone Gone" LP Originally Released January 1965\n"Sing Great Country Hits" CD (Collector's Choice) Released July 12, 2005\n"Gone Gone Gone" CD (Collector's Choice) Released August 2, 2005\n\nAMG EXPERT REVIEW: (Sing Great Country Hits) The Everly Brothers' homage to some of the best country songs of their era (and their authors and originators) seems like a no-brainer today, and ought to be regarded as a classic record, right up there with their own Roots, not to mention as beloved as anything by the Louvin Brothers or even, say, the Brown's Ferry Four in its sheer beauty and simplicity. Instead, partly thanks to the early Warner Bros. Records' inability to market their LP releases (or do much else right), and also some unfortunate timing in its release, it's ended up overlooked by most fans and listeners. Actually, swept aside would be more like it, along with most of the Everlys' other LP work, by the tidal wave of the British Invasion, which hit North American shores just two and a half months after the album's release. Phil and Don do right, and then some, by Hank Williams, Don Gibson, Hank Locklin, et al.; the singing is heavenly and the playing is spot-on perfect, and even if the public overlooked it, one might easily presume that Roger McGuinn, Gene Clark, and a few other soon-to-be-important folk-rockers heard at least some of these renditions. They're still priceless, the singing is some of the most beautiful in the Everlys' output, and the arrangements are models of creative simplicity -- and for fans of the duo, it's almost as essential a record as Roots. [In 1997, the Collectors' Choice Music label reissued Sing Great Country Hits with seven additional bonus cuts.] -- Bruce Eder \n \nAMG EXPERT REVIEW: (Gone Gone Gone) A jumble of tracks from varying sessions that, despite some excellent moments, were indicative of the general directionlessness of the Everlys' career at this point. The title song was their final Top 40 single of the '60s, and indeed one of their greatest performances. "The Ferris Wheel," also a 1964 single, was a decent, moody ballad that was a minor hit in both America and the U.K; for some reason, it was excluded from the double-CD compilation of their best '60s work, Walk Right Back. Otherwise, the album contains a few other songs cut in 1964, and some odds and ends from sessions in the early '60s. The Everlys, John D. Loudermilk, and the great Boudleaux/Felice Bryant songwriting team wrote almost all of the material on this album, but unfortunately it was not up to the standards of either the writers or the performers. -- Richie Unterberger \n\nAMAZON.COM CUSTOMER REVIEW (Gone Gone Gone)\nUnderrated collection of classic Everly tunes!, August 19, 2005\nReviewer: David Kenner (Fort Worth, Texas United States)\nThis album has always gotten a bad rap, usually either because it tanked saleswise upon release, or because Everly fans consider it a slipshod compilation of throw-away tracks. Truth be told, it's an amazing listen from start to finish. "Donna, Donna" had been previously released on the "Date With the..." LP but it's still a blazing track and makes a great album opener here. Eight of the twelve cuts are making their long overdue CD debut here, including some of the most powerful tunes that the Brothers ever laid down -- "The Drop-Out", "Love Is All I Need", "The Facts Of Life", "It's Been A Long, Dry Spell", a pounding rendition of Jimmy Reed's "Ain't That Loving You Baby" and the list goes on. Great remastering and very informative liner notes make this one of the must-have reissues of the year. Thanks again to Gordon Anderson and Collector's Choice Music for rescuing another of my all-time favorite LPs from obscurity.
This folk cd contains 12 tracks and runs 26min 25sec.
