The Everly's last hurrah, this unsung classic features the perfect pop sensibilities of Paul McCartney, who wrote the song, and the loving Rockabilly/Retro sensibilities of Dave Edmunds, who produced it. A perfect vehicle for the Everly Brothers, it's only fault is that it's just too short! How it failed to crack the top 40 in a year when retro rockabilly was still quite popular is an enduring mystery. It did just as poorly in the U.K. Note: This beautiful copy has pristine sound.
