• Track Listing

The Everlys’ 1968 LP "Roots" was one of the first true country-rock albums—and it didn’t arrive out of nowhere. It followed two years of musical experimentation, mostly in L.A., during which time Don and Phil recorded with Wrecking Crew aces Glen Campbell, Larry Knechtel, Hal Blaine and Ray Pohlman plus Van Dyke Parks and James Burton. You’ll encounter all of the above as you hear the "Roots" LP and the two that preceded it, "The Hit Sound Of" and "Sing," plus rare bonus tracks. Along with self-penned songs, the Everlys cover rock, pop and country tunes by Fats Domino, Little Richard, Procol Harum, Merle Haggard, Glen Campbell, Randy Newman, Neil Young, Dolly Parton and more. Their heavenly harmonies grace these renditions of "Devil’s Child," "Movin’ On," "Blueberry Hill," "Sticks and Stones," "A Whiter Shade of Pale," "It’s My Time," "Mama Tried," "T for Texas," "You Done Me Wrong," "Shop Girl" and more!
