Rock 'n' roll singing duo The Everly Brothers could have precursored the Beatle and the Beach Boys if they would have emulated the Chuck Berry sound rather than country. The record features, one interesting Jimmy Reed classic blues cover,
Baby What Do You Want Me To Do, a terrible version of Little Richard's Rock masterpiece
Lucille, and two head turning numbers,
Love Hurts, yes it's the tune that Nazareth murdered, and
Cathy's Clown.
Love Hurts's main riff sets the somber mood with moody heartfelt vocals that confirms indeed ...
Love Hurts.
Cathy's Clown at first glance just sounds like a stereotypical Everlys track, but if you break it up into parts you find something different, strange off beat drum, jangly piano, minimal guitar, harmonized vocals, the song turns out to be a very well arranged and thought-out, no wonder it was such a mega hit! I suggest you all have
A Date With The Everly Brothers! (Ha ha they sound skanky now!)
