I am a huge fan of both 'Bradleys Barn' and 'Triangle,' by the Beau Brummels. However, have you heard Ron Elliott's solo album, 'Candlestickmaker?' It's an absolute hidden gem! I will also add that the session musicians Ron and Sal enlisted for 'BB' and 'Candlestickmaker'(Dan Levitt and Marc McClure) were so impressive that Ron produced their only LP, the excellent 'Living In The Country.' It's the kind of album that you would flip past in a used record bin and never think twice about, but it too is a diamond and well worth hunting down!
I love the stuff they did at this time in their career. The 2CD Warner anthology "Walk Right Back" is superb, as it has all the significant stuff from that era. "Down In The Bottom" sounds like it's good, too.
And "Roots" is probably my favorite of their single albums. "T For Texas" is amazing, and their voices were well-suited to "Sing Me Back Home" and "Mama Tried".
Fine piece and tribute to the Everly Brothers. I wonder how many duos owe their harmonizing inspiration to them.
Well done. I’ve always enjoyed this period of their career, and your overview made me revisit it.
