Free Music Notes for Sing Great Country Hits/Gone Gone Gone
Free Music Review: Re-issue that does the Everlies proud
Hit: 4 Stars
This series of 2 LPs on one CD of the Everlies Warner catalogue, is a text book example of how to do it. Full albums, augmented by singles and enough outtakes to fill the CD, all superbly mastered from the original definitive stereo tapes, with copious notes that don't gloss over the behind the scenes difficulties and clashes, fully illustrated with the original artwork, packaged in a protective cardboard sleeve, and sold at a budget price.
This particular pairing follows Both Sides Of An Evening/Instant Party sequentially in the series, though in between they had released the compilation of Warner material The Golden Hits Of The Everly Brothers and the seasonal Christmas With The Everly Brothers And The Boys Town Choir. Before Gone Gone Gone there had also been The Very Best Of The Everly Brothers, consisting of new recordings of their Cadence hits as well as half-a-dozen repeats from Golden Hits.
Great Country Hits was a project recorded over two days in June 1963 and produced no singles at the time, though Born To Lose and a couple of others would probably have fared quite well had they been released (Release Me and Sweet Dreams were dusted off for release as a single in 1966).
Interestingly, the album was not recorded in Nashville, as one might have expected for a country record, but in Hollywood, producing a fresh feel to the songs with a top crew including Wrecking Crew players Billy Strange, Glen Campbell, Leon Russell and Hal Blaine, and pedal steel maestro Red Rhodes to add that country edge, while avoiding Nashville MOR gloss. Sonny Curtis, writer of Walk Right Back, was also on hand and was co-writer with fellow cricket Jerry Allison of the one non standard country tune, This Is The Last Song I'm Ever Going To Sing. This closed the album, and their single at the time, It's Been Nice, had been recorded two years earlier, but the lyric soon turned out to be a false prophecy after all.
Gone Gone Gone was a rather hurriedly put out album, released in January 1965, capitalizing on their first US hit Top 40 hit in nearly three years with the song Gone Gone Gone, possibly their greatest upbeat recording to date (How Can I Meet Her? comes very close), and a Don and Phil composition to boot, their relaxed harmonies really jelling with the terrific studio band, controlled by some fantastic drumming from Hal Blaine (I surmise).
To make the album up to weight the record company ignored a couple of new recordings as well as several tracks that had been out on singles since the last album, and instead chose three recordings from 1960; two outtakes (Lonely Island and Radio And TV, both Boudleaux and Felice Bryant songs previously withheld for contractual reasons) and, curiously, the opening track Donna Donna, which had been on A Date With The Everly Brothers in 1960 (now slightly remixed and simultaneously released as a B-side to Made To Love, another oldie). Two other singles were included, though, The Ferris Wheel and the bluesy standard Ain't That Loving You Baby, along with a flipside, Torture, an excellent revival of the John D Loudermilk song, and overall it was probably a better sounding album than Great Country Hits, since at last they were again able to use their own songs and those of Boudleaux and Felice Bryant, who between them provide five songs.
The missing singles have thoughtfully been added by Warner, and they are The Girl Sang The Blues/Love Her, Ring Around My Rosie/You're The One I Love, and B-sides Hello Amy, Nancy's Minuet and Don't Forget To Cry. The other bonus tracks were all unreleased at the time but some have since turned up on retrospective releases, and include Girls, Girls, Girls (What A Headache) which humorously name checks several of the girls from earlier Everlies records such as Susie, Cathy, Claudette and Jenny.
Sing Great Country Hits/Gone Gone Gone Poster
Two CD set combines their 1963 album Sing Great Country Hits, which was just what the title said: all covers of fairly recent country smashes, none of them Everly Brothers originals, and 1965's Gone Gone Gone. On Sing Great Country Hits the duo's harmonizing was superb, the backing tasteful, and the material intelligently selected, including classics by some of the top country songwriters and performers of the '50s & '60s. Includes 'Oh, Lonesome Me', 'I'm So Lonesome I Could Cry', 'I Walk The Line', 'I Can't Stop Loving You', 'Release Me', 'Silver Threads and Golden Needles', 'Send Me The Pillow You Dream On' and 'Born to Lose'. Gone Gone Gone delivered much of what Everly Brothers fans had been thirsting for since 1961: an album of bona fide rock'n'roll, the detours into hardcore country songs and adult pop tunes banished for the time being. Moreover it also marked, at long last, a new crop of Everlys songs composed by Boudleaux and Felice Bryant, the husband-wife team who'd been responsible for penning many of their best hit singles and album tracks in the late '50s & early '60s.
