Mom!<\/p><\/div>\n

In tonight’s edition of Saturday Night Shut-In<\/em>, Mr. Moderator will spend time with a collection of songs by The Everly Brothers<\/strong>, from their post-peak years of 1965 through 1972. It is not a well-known period in their career, but it did yield a few minor hits and songs that were otherwise brought to the public through cover versions, including\u00a0Mr. Mod’s favorite Bryan Ferry solo<\/a> cover, “The Price of Love.”<\/p>\n

“I first became interested in this period of the brothers’ career,” said Mr. Moderator in a pre-show interview, “in the early ’80s, when I bought a double-album collection of their greatest hits on the Arista label, with some pink-themed cover<\/a>. As I got into the post-‘Cathy’s Clown’ material on side 3 I became fascinated by efforts to update their sound. They still made for a pretty strong, second-rate mid-’60s band, although I don’t think these strengths were reflected in their record sales.”<\/p>\n

“As a student of long-running failure and dashed dreams,” Mr. Mod continued, “I’ve continued to dig out tracks from this point in the Everly Brothers’ career. I’m rarely\u00a0let down by the feelings of empathy that sweep over me.”<\/p>\n

“I’m sorry,” he concluded our chat, “I’ve got a show to do.”<\/p>\n[audio:http:\/\/www.rocktownhall.com\/blogs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/01\/RTH-Saturday-Night-Shut-In-11.mp3|titles=RTH Saturday Night Shut-In, episode 11]\n
