Were the Everly Brothers rock or country? It’s hard to tell from their first masterwork, “Bye Bye Love.” This track is so good that only Elvis and Pat Boone (the late 50's two biggest artists) could keep it from the top. Don and Phil on Cadence were like Elvis; they were singing in Tennessee, and they sound like both country superstars and plaintive rock and rollers. You already know what this one’s about: more lost love. But these brothers truly believe that their “gonna du-eye.” And what is more distinctive than that classic Everly guitar?
