Don Everly

Around that time, Axl, who was dating Erin Everly, daughter of...

Don Everly of the Everly Brothers.

Oh, really? Yeah, they were married for a little bit.

Didn't know that.

And my dad's a big fan of his films, anyway.

She later married Don Everly of the Everly Brothers.

Yes, the Everly Brothers, the musical Everly Brothers.

And one of their daughters was once married to Axl Rose.

Mm.

Erin Everly was the daughter of Don Everly of The Everly Brothers.

Really? I don't know if I knew that.

Imagine bringing Axl Rose home-

The two singles I mentioned were great, and there were two or three other excellent cuts.

but the star was The Price of Love, which I discovered was written and recorded by Phil and Don Everly.

And nope, it didn't chart for them either.

I have no idea why, because a descending bass line and a killer lead guitar is the feature on both versions.

That's country music poetry right there.

It was originally recorded, though, by Don Everly in 1976, and Keith Whitley had a version, but in February of '91, Mark Chestnut took it all the way to number one for two weeks, his first number one song and one that still hits today.

Brooks & Dunn, Brand New Man.

It was their debut single.

So she's exhausted in every sense, not least emotionally as well.

They didn't really know what to do, but they wanted to continue making music, and a lifeline came through in the shape of a phone call to Lindsey Buckingham to invite him to go on tour with Don Everly.

He was gonna have two weeks of rehearsal before heading out on this tour, and of course, he would be away for a long time.

So Stevie drove Lindsey up to Aspen, Colorado, which is a very beautiful, mountainous, uh, snowy part of America.

Both artists performed precisely during the path of totality, creating a perfectly synchronized cultural and celestial event.

In 2021, Don Everly, the elder half of the highly influential rock 'n' roll duo The Everly Brothers, passed away at his home in Nashville, Tennessee at the age of 84.

His passing marked the end of an era for a foundational vocal act whose tight harmonies directly shaped the bands like The Beatles.

In 2022, law enforcement officers executed a raid on Afroman's Ohio residence acting on a search warrant, although no criminal charges were ever filed against him on that.
