Both Sides of an Evening


Both Sides Of An Evening is the fifth studio album and released in 1961 by The Everly Brothers. Though it was released at the peak of their career, it failed to make any of the record charts.
Fourteen songs were laid down for the album, in two halves. The completed album was recorded in only three days worth of sessions. It was produced by Bill Porter.
Prior to the album's release, half-minute excerpts of the songs were released on a Souvenir sampler, purchasable for a single dollar.

Reception

Writing for Allmusic, music critic Bruce Eder wrote of the album "...the duo's most ambitious and mature record to date, but it just wasn't terribly exciting or of much interest to the teenagers that made up the vast bulk of their audience."
