The Everly Brothers: Stories We Could Tell
Bud Scoppa, Rolling Stone, 6 July 1972
THE EVERLY BROTHERS brought harmony to rock and roll. They also brought sensitivity, the result of their having been weaned on old-time country music. They were the end of one line and beginning of another. They were also hugely influential, and everything they gave to rock was positive.
