Devoted to You: “Hey Doll Baby” Features The Everly Brothers’ Hits and Deep Cuts

May 12, 2022 by Joe Marchese | 4 Comments

“I had the unique pleasure of knowing Phil Everly as a kid and the honor of getting to know Don Everly a bit this year as we prepared this compilation,” writes Adria Petty in the liner notes to The Everly Brothers’ new collection, Hey Doll Baby. As Tom Petty’s daughter, Adria was a first-hand witness to rock and roll history, and that experience has informed her curation of this 17-track compendium. Hey Doll Baby was first issued by Warner Records on vinyl in April for Record Store Day as a limited blue…

A Song for You: Recent Ace Collections Spotlight Songs of Leon Russell, Kris Kristofferson

April 1, 2021 by Joe Marchese | 5 Comments

Ace Records’ two most recent entries in its Songwriter Series of collections both spotlight artists who bucked tradition to forge their own paths at the end of the 1960s and the dawn of the 1970s: Leon Russell and Kris Kristofferson. As we wrote upon his passing in 2016 at the age of 74, Leon Russell was an extraordinary talent unlike any other: A true renaissance man and an extraordinary talent as composer, musician, arranger, producer, and artist, The Master of Space and Time led many lives. With each one, his music touched a new…

Devoted to You: Edsel Collects Everly Brothers’ “Cadence Recordings” on CD, Reissues Albums on Vinyl

April 13, 2020 by Joe Marchese | 3 Comments

Brothers Don and Phil Everly successfully straddled the line between country and rock-and-roll (with a healthy dollop of R&B) beginning with their first hit record, 1957’s “Bye Bye Love.” Still an oldies-radio staple today, the Felice and Boudleaux Bryant classic began a long stretch of successes for the duo. Archie Bleyer, of Cadence Records, signed the boys in February 1957 and was keenly aware of their potential to appeal to both teenaged and adult markets. At his behest, the Everlys recorded both rockers and ballads, bringing their lustrous, tight harmony blend to…

The Big Light: Johnny Cash’s Complete Mercury Albums Reissued in New Box Set and Individual LPs

March 10, 2020 by Joe Marchese | 3 Comments

Johnny Cash is coming to town (again)! When the legendary Man in Black was unceremoniously dropped by his longtime home of Columbia Records in mid-1986 – “the hardest decision I’ve ever had to make in my life,” opined then-label chief Rick Blackburn – he wasn’t yet finished. Mercury Records stepped up to sign Cash, beginning a relationship that lasted for five years and six albums. Now, that fertile 1986-1991 period of rebirth is being revisited by Mercury and UMe in a multi-platform campaign. On April 24, the labels will issue a new…

Swinging Doors: Grateful Dead, Emmylou, Dolly, Dino, More Celebrate “The Merle Haggard Songbook”

May 23, 2019 by Joe Marchese | 2 Comments

Along with Buck Owens – with whom he shared a musical history and a wife – Merle Haggard (1937-2016) defined The Bakersfield Sound of country music: authentic, raw, rooted in honky-tonks. But unlike the Texas-born and Arizona-raised Owens, Haggard was actually born in Bakersfield and raised just across the river from that California town. “Hag,” as he preferred to be known, rocketed to superstardom thanks to “Okie from Muskogee,” his controversial 1969 song that was either a scathing indictment of the younger generation or of the smalltown, heartland folk criticizing them. (Hag…

Presley, Darin, Orbison, Sinatra, Beach Boys Featured On Ace’s New “State of the Union”

December 19, 2018 by Joe Marchese | No Comments

Elvis and Dino took on hypocrisy. Dion lamented the senseless deaths of Abraham, Martin, and John. Johnny “Poetry in Motion” Tillotson cast a spotlight on the poor treatment of veterans returned home from war. Bing Crosby wondered “What Do We Do with the World” and Paul Anka observed that “This crazy world has come undone.” Such are the moments captured on Ace’s thoroughly captivating new collection Bob Stanley and Pete Wiggs Present State of the Union: The American Dream in Crisis 1967-1973. This 24-track set chronicles the tumult and upheaval of Vietnam-era…

When Will I Be Loved: Morello Reissues Two Phil Everly Solo Albums Featuring Warren Zevon

February 28, 2018 by Joe Marchese | No Comments

The Everly Brothers’ contribution to American popular song can hardly be overestimated. With hits like “Bye Bye Love,” “Wake Up, Little Susie” and “When Will I Be Loved,” brothers Don and Phil merged classic country and rock-and-roll into an influential whole, while their longing, ethereal vocal blend on “All I Have to Do is Dream” established them as timeless balladeers. At the beating heart of The Everly Brothers’ sound was their deep respect for the music of the land, the rough-and-tumble, hardscrabble, homespun ballads they had learned as children in the Midwest….

Music of the Night: Andrew Lloyd Webber Celebrates His 70th Birthday with a New Box Set

January 26, 2018 by Joe Marchese | No Comments

Since September 25, 1979, there hasn’t been a day when an Andrew Lloyd Webber melody hasn’t been heard on Broadway. That was the opening night of Lloyd Webber and Tim Rice’s Evita. Before it ended its run in June 1983, Lloyd Webber’s musical Cats had opened, launching a record-breaking run through September 2000. But on January 26, 1988, the show opened which would eclipse them all: Phantom of the Opera. It today celebrates 30 years (marked with a special gala earlier this week) and is comfortably the longest-running show in Broadway history,…

Feelin’ Groovy: Rhino Plans Vinyl Celebrations for Summer of Love Anniversary

May 30, 2017 by Mike Duquette | 7 Comments

Five decades ago, in the Haight-Ashbury district of San Francisco, a social movement was growing. Young people, with heads full of progressive ideas and evolving attitudes toward sex, drugs and rock and roll, were converging on the area to celebrate their personal freedom–an extension of that January’s “Human Be-In” in San Francisco’s Golden Gate Park. The “Summer of Love,” as it was called, was the birth of the modern counterculture, and music played an integral role in the shaping, influencing and mainstreaming of these daring new ideas. Rhino Records will celebrate that…

Pass The Chicken and Listen: Morello Reissues Everly Brothers, Janie Fricke

July 10, 2014 by Joe Marchese | No Comments

When The Everly Brothers joined RCA Victor in 1972, their place in the popular music firmament was already all but assured. Their string of hits for the Cadence label beautifully fused tight, ethereal country harmonies with a rock and roll spirit, from 1957’s “Bye Bye Love” (U.S. No. 2) onward. When Don and Phil joined the Warner Bros. roster in 1960, they scored another smash right out of the gate with the chart-topping “Cathy’s Clown,” but by the late sixties, the hit singles had dried up. Artistically, the brothers were still vibrant,…

Review: The Everly Brothers, “Songs Our Daddy Taught Us” Expanded Edition

April 18, 2014 by Joe Marchese | 3 Comments

When Phil Everly passed away earlier this year, his legacy was celebrated by both those who knew him and those who were influenced by him. Chanteuse Norah Jones commented, “The high harmonies Phil sang were so fluid and beautiful and always sound effortless in a way that just washes over the listener.” Jones’ partner on the tribute album Foreverly, Billie Joe Armstrong, wrote, “Those harmonies will live on forever.” Iggy Pop observed, “The Everlys were the real deal when it comes to American music.” Brother Don eloquently stated, “I loved my brother…

California Dreamin’: Carole King, Merry Clayton, The Everly Brothers Featured on “Lou Adler: A Musical History”

March 17, 2014 by Joe Marchese | No Comments

Songwriter, manager, A&R man, producer, director, impresario, diehard L.A. Lakers fan – in his eighty years, Lou Adler has worn all of those labels proudly. It’s hard to believe that the same man behind The Rocky Horror Show – both on stage and on screen – and Cheech and Chong’s Up in Smoke also helmed one of the most successful records ever in Carole King’s Tapestry, or that the same man penned a bona fide standard in Sam Cooke’s “Wonderful World.” But much of Lou Adler’s extraordinary career has defied belief, and…

Sweeter Than Wine: “This Magic Moment” Compiles Brill Building Nuggets

February 3, 2014 by Joe Marchese | 7 Comments

Today, 1619 Broadway in the heart of New York City’s theatre district doesn’t particularly stand out. Despite the building’s ornate façade, 1619 appears to be just another office building on a busy thoroughfare populated with every kind of attention-grabbing signage. But this building – along with its neighbor to the north, 1650 Broadway – is as much a part of rock and roll history as Sun Studios or Abbey Road. 1650 is the one and only Brill Building, incubator to some of the finest songs in the American popular canon. For a…
