Golden Hits comprises a stunning collection of hit singles from the top pop harmony duo The Everly Brothers covering the period 1960-62. Their five year reign at the top of the charts was now drawing to a close. (US:35)
“While The Everly Brothers were tanking in the album charts with their original material, Warners decided to give them a boost with this hits compilation which did make some noise by making the lower reaches of the top 40. There's nothing new here representing as it does a package of their first six Warners singles minus a few flip sides. The set also includes the Everly classic, the mournful but compelling Crying In The Rain. It represents The Everlys first entry into the Brill Building for new material."
“A compilation of their early and often very good sides for Warners. Cathy's Clown is a masterpiece; but even if that's a career highlight, there are several other classic tracks to be found here. Don't hesitate to pick it up, if you stumble upon it, as it contains some of the sweetest sounds in rock & roll.”
“This is a fine collection of great Everly Brothers songs from their Warner Brothers years.”
"Cathy's Clown is a tune you may well recognize. The Everly Brothers sing passionately of how they want to end the love affairs they have had with their girlfriends. The brothers harmonize perfectly and I love it. This is easily a highlight of this album. Crying In The Rain is a fine tune about the sad ending of a love gone awry, and when The Everly Brothers sing this the effect is truly extraordinary - they're that good.”
“This album has a way of whisking one back to a time when we were coming alive, and experiencing the teenage rush; romance wanted, sought, and sometimes found; sometimes not. The Everlys capture that rushing essence; harmony tough to duplicate, and melodies that are classic.”
