These guys were the most talented in LA, imho. The fact they weren't HUGE is a travesty! I loved all their incarnations, but especially R&F and Blackbird. Sigh..... Thanks for posting this!

A surprisingly good interview for a late-night talk show.

It's a funny thing, panther, I work in television all the time and I never yet heard of an artist telling the cameras what to shoot, that's always up to the producer and the director. Don't blame the brothers for what they have no control over, even if they ARE the "bandleaders" and the obvious focus of Alan's attention....

That was a good interview. I only heard about this band years ago when I was singing the Everlys' version to myself at work. A work buddy overheard me and we got talking and traded versions. My friend described the Ev's version as "sounded like a train" which I guess it kinda does. I love the Ev's version and I hope these guys got a big kick (and good money) from the Ev's doing it in '85.
