Dawn McCarthy & Bonnie “Prince” Billy<br />

What the Brothers Sang<br />

Drag City, LP or CD<br />

Even today, a half a decade later, the songs of the Everly Brothers<br />

still sound like magic. Whether it’s the unmistakable, sweep-youoff-your-feet<br />

harmonies or always-pristine production—even the<br />

group’s saddest songs sound born not in the studio but in a candy<br />

shop—the Everly Brothers endure. And perhaps it could even be<br />

argued today that the collective is unjustly overlooked, arriving just<br />

before the more exciting British Invasion of the 60s and now forever<br />

tied to Top Gun.<br />

Seeing the hypnotizing effect the Everly Brothers had on her<br />

children, West Coast folk-pop artist Dawn McCarthy has said she<br />

was inspired to more deeply revisit the act’s catalog. The result,<br />

“Prince” Billy, otherwise known as Will Oldham, a long-cherished<br />

singer/songwriter voice of the independent community. (continued)<br />
