Description

It all started in Muhlenberg County, Kentucky (USA). Isaac Donald Everly (b.2/1/1937) born in Brownie, KY and Phillip Everly (b.1/19/1939) in Chicago, IL were raised in a musical family, steeped in one of the oldest musical traditions in America. The atmosphere of the coal mining towns of Kentucky and the songs which are the voice of the culture formed The Everly Brothers sound, which has endured for more than six decades. Don and Phil are the sons of Ike and Margaret Everly, who, like their parents before them, were folk and country singers from central Kentucky. Their late father was one of the few "authentic" guitarists in American music. The influence of his thumb picking style can be heard in the music of guitar players such as Merle Travis, Chet Atkins and Mark Knopfler.
