Everly Brothers - Omaha (1968 - Rare First Version) video free download
This beautiful song was first recorded in 1968 but not commercially released until 1977 and even then only in England on THE NEW ALBUM (WB K56145) . Why, I don't know !! This version has never been released since. The more familiar contains an extra verse "I'm going back to Omaha". That version was available on the "Heartaches & Harmonies' (Rhino -229792) a 4 Cd overview of Don and Phil Everly's unique music. It may still be available.
Note: I don't own the copyright. Am merely a fan and felt that this great and rare song should be on the popular You Tube facility. That's all folks!

Esta canción es tan linda... Aquí se tiene voz, alma, emoción, todo esto son los ingredientes para una canción linda y marcante. Amo los Everly Brothers, ellos son toda la alma del country-rock de los años 50 y 60. DIOS bendiga a los señores Don y Phil Everly.12 years ago

@vlihwj Maybe when the skies turn purple, the cows will come home! LOL! (And the Everly fans will still be debating all the finest details of their music!)12 years ago

@tenniscollector I would love to see "Paradise" uploaded again, but I fear it is going to be blocked every time. :-(12 years ago
tenniscollector
@justmusicandme Err...Thanks. I'll have to look into that. BTW I did try to upload the second version of Omaha and a couple other songs but these were rejected on YT. One was "Paradise" an RCA recording. WOW!12 years ago

Written by Don Everly....Robin Dunn is the last word....Don't ever be surprised at Everly fans' knowledge and curiosity about the smallest, most minute piece of info regarding the EB and their music! We will debate it until the cows come home! :-))12 years ago

@AGibsonJ It's a pleasure. Thank you for commenting. I wasn't aware that Don also recorded "Omaha" on his solo album. Let's hope someone who has it can upload that one.12 years ago

I beg to differ with you, but according to Robin Dunn's complete EB discography, Don is credited with having written this song. Consuelo Dodge did not write an authorized biography, but Roger Wright did. I read both of them.. But, thank you for the post.12 years ago

@ebfan41 My friend thanks for you reply. But i have read that the writer was James Slater. Also Collector Choice have re-released THE NEW ALBUM in 2005 (Cat No CMM-563 ).12 years ago
