Born Yesterday (album)


Born Yesterday is an album by the Everly Brothers, released in 1986. It peaked at No. 83 on the Billboard 200 and No. 22 on the Top Country Albums charts. The title track, written by Don, was the first single; "I Know Love" was the second.

Production

The album was produced by Dave Edmunds. "Why Worry" is a cover of the Dire Straits song. "Amanda Ruth" is a cover of the Rank and File song, which had been inspired by the brothers' version of "Lucille".

Critical reception

The Star Tribune wrote that the album "has no irresistible tunes but plenty of good, well-crafted numbers." The Gazette noted that the "adult-oriented pop and country record has an almost limpid quality to it; partially due to the brother's effortless harmonies; partly because of Edmond's hands-off production; and partly thanks to the astounding virtuosity of veteran players."
