Extremely insightful for those wanting a behind the scenes look at the brother’s personal and musical lives. I loved their backstory and hearing of their time in Chicago and Knoxville. I had no idea!

Unfortunately, it is heartbreaking to grow up with this idealistic image of these two cute young men, brothers and their lovey dovey, old timey songs only to find they too were riddled with substance abuse and deceit.

I enjoyed hearing Bob Dylan and others weld into their story. They’ve left quite a legacy with their music and it’s interesting to hear what it cost them, but sad all the same.

My mother, being a 50s girl, introduced me to The Everly Brothers at a very young age. I have been a fan ever since! So, I jumped on the chance to read more about their smooth sound, unique harmony and their amazing career.

I did learn quite a few pieces of information in this book. I did not know about their tumultuous relationship, the many marriages and the drug use. Basically because I never read much about this unique pair.

Even though I learned a great deal, I felt this account of the Everly brothers had a great deal of repeats. It is almost like the author just wanted to make the book longer. It was a tad bit monotonous.

The narrator, Steve Menasche, did a good job. He is probably the reason I kept listening.

I received this audiobook from the publisher for a honest review.

I loved the Everly Brothers music and their beautiful harmony but I never knew much about their personal lives. This comprehensive book on their lives and their contribution to music is a must read for fans. There is a wealth of information here not only about the Everly Brothers themselves but about the music of the times and their influence on it. Excellent book

The Everly brothers story is fascinating. Mark Ribowsky has produced a compelling account of both their personal lives and their huge contribution to music. This book places the Don and Phil Everly firmly at the foundations of the music revolution, their impact on 50’s music, and all that followed. Thank you to Net Galley for an audio arc in exchange for an honest review.

Long retrospective of the lives and career of the Everly Brothers. I certainly didn’t know what tormented and messed up private lives they led. It was fun reliving the stories of the great songs, but as they declined, I didn’t know their later ones. I wish this audio had snippets of their hits. This is worth listening to for fans.

Thank you to Tantor Audio and to NetGalley for an ARC of this audiobook.

I have known the music of the Everly Brothers ever since I can remember, When I saw this book I knew I needed to read it, and I definitely was not disappointed

The author did a fantastic job of writing this book. It was full of information that I didn't previously know and so fascinating. Who would have thought that these two clean cut looking boys would have such a disturbing and complicated life.

I listened to this as an audiobook and it was fantastic. I would definitely reccomend to anyone who is interested in music of the 60's and/or the Everley Brothers
