The biography of the Everly Brothers, an influential act in popular music history, based on dozens of exclusive and archival interviews, as well as long-lost global reporting.
The first in-depth biography of one of pop music’s most influential duos ... Barry Mazor strikes a balance between the Everlys’ stormy lives and their enduring music, making a strong case for the Everly Brothers as more than pioneering rock songbirds ...
