One doesn't think of the Everly Brothers exploring their psychedelic
side, but sure enough, there they are on cover of 1967's Roots wearing
love beads, frilly neo-Victorian sleeves, and pants that surely
would've looked at home on Carnaby Street. This wasn't just about
fashion, though. In the late sixties, the Brothers Everly churned out
some oft-overlooked masterpieces of psychedelic folk up there with the
best of the era. Check out their re-make of their early hit "I Wonder
if I Care As Much," and "Lord of the Manner." I love the marriage of
pop perfection that brought Don and Phil fame at an early age with the
expansiveness of an out sixties soundscape, and wish there was more of
this to go around.
