The Everly Brothers may be best known for their late-1950s pop hits, but their story really begins in Appalachian country. A cultural change in the late 1960s brought with it a broader, worldlier concept of popular music, and, in '68, the boys took another route, reviving, with great clarity of purpose, their own Kentuckian heritage.
On ROOTS, the Everly Brothers use their characteristic close-knit harmonies on the folksy ballad "Living Too Close to the Ground" and the bluegrass-influenced "Less of Me." Listeners can certainly hear the influence of the Louvin Brothers on these tracks. This music is not purebred country, though. There are divergences, especially on the tripped-out intro to "I Wonder If I Care as Much," a song that begins with a swirling feedback guitar and Beatles-esque tom-tom fills. A smartly produced album, ROOTS successfully combines the Everlys' country pedigree with dashes of pop, and a good dose of moody, coming-of-age lyrics.

Rolling Stone (5/31/69, p.36) - "...a warm, sentimental album that is nostalgic and contemporary at the same time....Anybody interested in the so-called country revival now sweeping rock should pick up this album. It's right fine..."

| | Faust/So Far CD (1972)
Roots music CDs
$12.99
Though a commercial blip in its day, Krautrock has become one of the most enduring movements in music history, with countless indie acts namedropping the genre's most famous as influences. Now, as then, Hamburg's Faust gets the least love. Revisited Records hopes to change that with this long overdue reissue of the band's classic second long-player, SO FAR. One of the worst commercial failures in the history of Virgin Records, SO FAR was a slight capitulation to the marketplace after their mellow-harshing debut: there are some hints of accessible grooves (the mesmerizing opener, "It's A Rainy Day, Sunshine Girl") and melodicism (the Jimmy Page-ish guitar and flute of "On the Way to Adamae") to pull in the faint of heart.
Otherwise, SO FAR builds on the drastic pastiches of the first album: proto-industrial soundscapes evaporate into dreamier, layered ones and back again throughout the album's nine ...

Ex-Byrd Gene Clark's early-'70s solo efforts, which rank alongside the recordings of the Flying Burrito Brothers and Crosby, Stills, Nash, and Young in terms of quality, vision, and appeal, have been unjustly overlooked. This is particularly true of NO OTHER, Clark's 1974 coup de grace. ...
