## Description

Roots&quot; showcases the harmonies of the Everlys with covers of songs by performers who had been influential on the duo&apos;s career. Songs by Jimmie Rodgers, George Jones, Randy Newman and Merle Haggard plus traditional standards offer laid-back, tasteful, acoustic-oriented arrangements with superb vocals that convey qualities of innocence tempered by experience. Originally released in 1968, &quot;Roots&quot; is one of the finest early country-rock albums.

## Customer Reviews

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 







  
  
    The Everly Brothers' "Pet Sounds"
  

*by C***N on April 9, 2000*









  
  
    A splendid pulling together of the threads of Don & Phil's work to this point, with intriguing hints of what might have been to come. Framed by excellent renderings of two Merle Haggard prison songs ("Mama  Tried" and "Sing Me Back Home"), a nod to their Cadence Work  ("I Wonder If I Care As Much"), contemporary pop/rock(Randy  Newman's "Illinois", Ron Elliot's "Turn Around"), their  country/folk "roots" ("Shady Grove,"Jimmy  Rogers'"T For Texas" and the tapes of their radio work) this is a  thoroughly delightful set. Lenny Waronker, their Warner Brothers producer  was also doing excellent work at the time with VanDyke Parks("Song  Cycle"), the Beau Brummels ("Bradley's Barn") and Randy  Newman. Comparable to the Beach Boys' "Pet Sounds" as the best  album-length realization of what had been up til then a singles  band.Roughly contemporary with a masterpiece of another order: "From  Elvis In Memphis."
