More Info:
"Roots" showcases the harmonies of the Everlys with covers of songs by performers who had been influential on the duo's career. Songs by Jimmie Rodgers, George Jones, Randy Newman and Merle Haggard plus traditional standards offer laid-back, tasteful, acoustic-oriented arrangements with superb vocals that convey qualities of innocence tempered by experience. Originally released in 1968, "Roots" is one of the finest early country-rock albums.
