Totally forgot about this little foray into psychedelia for The Everly Brothers. This track had remained unreleased until the Rhino's "Heartaches And Harmonies" boxed set from 1994 and I was reminded of it while searching for the "Milk Train/Lord Of The Manor" single.
"You're Just What I Was Looking For" isn't the greatest EB track, but like so many of their lesser known songs, it is really solid and one more reason why I always say, The Everly Brothers should be loved by more people. I'm sure Phil and Don get the respect, but I have a feeling not enough people have gone deeper than the obvious 25 songs.

Wow, never heard that one. And it is great!
Thanks to your post, I wandered into my Everly stash and am currently listening to 'Too Good To Be True', a 2005 collection of unreleased demos. Basically just acoustic guitars and vocals. Sublime.

Good song/post! I've had the Rhino box for a long time, among other collections, and it's great to delve into for non recognizable tunes. Don and Phil were just terrific!
A lovely song. Thanks for posting!

You are so right about the Everlys. I'd like to hear those later albums like "Pass The Chicken And Listen".
Thanks for this. The used record/CD shop in town, for some reason, sold the individual four disks of the "Heartaches and Harmonies" collection as separate albums. Within a year of the box coming out, I was thrilled to find them for sale there. But the odd thing was that they had disks 1, 2, and 4, but not 3. Disks 1 and 2 had all of the original 50s - early 60s hits (disk 2 ends with the boys singing the Coca-cola jingle). Disk 4 included the McCartney-penned "On the Wings of a Nightingale," which had gotten relatively recent radio play and the boys working out on country ("Mama Tried"; T for Texas") and singer-songwriter songs ("Carolina in My Mind"; "Poems, Prayers and Promises"). I bought all three, but also combed the shelves for disk 3. It wasn't there and although I returned to look for it every couple of days, it never turned up. I always wondered who would have wanted ONLY Disk 3 from that great collection. Amazon tells me the first track on Disk 3 is my all-time fave, "Gone, Gone, Gone," and the last track is the one you've shared here, which I've never heard before. Dammit, I still want Disk 3.
I want Disc 3 too!
