Songs Our Daddy Taught Us

Songs Our Daddy Taught Us

A loving re-issue in best possible sound of the Everly Brothers timeless homage to their roots, <b>Songs Our Daddy Taught Us</b>. In reality it should probably have been ''Songs Our Daddy, Grandaddy, Uncle, Second Cousin etc... Taught Us'', but that would not have been so snappy.<p>The Everly Brothers came from a singing family in Kentucky and their parents Ike & Margaret were folk singers. This album draws songs from the distant past, such as <i>Barbara Allen</i> which originates from the Tudor period, <i>Who's Gonna Shoe Your Pretty Little Feet</i>, an old Scottish ballad, and songs from the 20th century like <i>Put My Little Shoes Away</i> that first surfaced in a 1910 song book and from the 1930s, Gene Autrey's <i>Silvered Haired Daddy Of Mine</i>.<p>The album was recorded in 1958, but would not sound any different if it was made yesterday. Don & Phil deliver these timeless and poignant songs which even more than their pop material show off the incredible natural Everly harmonies.
