There’s something eerie and uncanny about the Everly Brothers vocals on this and their other hits – almost as if each brother is haunting the other – and there’s a genderless quality to their voices as well

Was this the first hit record with a volume-pedal lead guitar part? Chet Atkins played it on both versions (the Cadence original and the re-recording for RCA), but it’s the first that’s so absolutely swooningly blissful. The Everlys are much under-rated, in the sense that everyone likes them but no one loves them madly, yet their 10 years of hits included very few clunkers, and they modernised their sound far more effectively than most of the Old Testament rockers left behind by the Beat Boom. Maybe it’s because the melodramatic arrangements of so many of their best songs, eg Crying In The Rain and Ferris Wheel, sound a shade corny to ironic, post-modern ears.
