There was a virtual tribute to the Everly Brothers this past Sunday which ran on the official EB site, as well as YouTube and maybe Facebook. I knew nothing about this until I received an email from a friend with a link to the fantastic clip above. As it turns out, the entire 90 minute event is now up on YouTube for public consumption. It is hit and miss, like every tribute, but what hits is pretty darn great.
Paul Simon & Edie Brickell, Susanna Hoffs & Dan Wilson, Albert Lee, Chris Isaak & Nicole Atkins, as well Lady Blackbird, Jakob Dylan and Lukas Nelson all contribute. The surprise hit was Bob Weir & Chris Robinson covering "Wake Up Little Susie" which was not only not a shambles, but one of the best performances of the lot. But I think Chris Stills & Graham Nash take the cake.

Like you I bumped into this great version of So Sad yesterday. Now the Everlys are in heavy play here at Casa COVID. Definitely will check out the tribute.
ReplyDeleteGonna have to give this a listen after work. Thanks for the heads up, Sal!
ReplyDeleteThat was beautiful. Thanks Sal for turning me on to it.
ReplyDeleteI just watched the whole thing -- it was a lot of fun all the way through.
ReplyDeleteThere were way more hits than misses on that, and my fave was Matt Sweeney's haunting Wonder If I Care.

ReplyDeleteThey were in different locations and managed to duet that nicely together? I would have thought the delay would make that nigh on impossible. Nice!
