Everly Brothers

UK pressing of the Rock 'N' Roll duo's debut album originally released in 1958 on the Cadence label. Cadence label head Archie Bleyer journeyed out to Nashville to supervise their first recording sessions, with 'Bye Bye Love' being part of that initial session. Written by Boudleaux and Bryant, 'Bye Bye Love' had already been turned down by more than 30 acts, including Elvis Presley, before the Everly Brothers agreed to record it. Released as a single in May 1957, it hit #2 on the Pop charts. Further success came with 'Wake Up Little Susie' and 'This Little Girl Of Mine'. The resulting debut album, entitled The Everly Brothers, hit the Top 20 when originally released, the most successful of their Cadence albums. Hallmark. 2009.
