I'm a fan of their album "Roots" of country covers arranged by Ron Elliott of the Beau Brummels. I ordered this about a week ago:

Rare RCA Records work from The Everly Brothers -- work that's quite different than the simple pop of their early years! Stories We Could Tell is a killer set done with producer Paul Rothchild -- recorded with heavy help from folks like Ry Cooder, David Crosby, Warren Zevon, Delaney & Bonnie, and other rock luminaries -- all brought in to help the Brothers hit a hip sort of country sound in their music. There's echoes of the Roots set on Warner, taken into more contemporary 70s modes -- and while the harmonies aren't as tight as in earlier albums, the overall evolution is certainly appreciated. Titles include "Christmas Eve Can Kill You", "Del Rio Dan", "Up In Mabel's Room", "All We Really Want To Do", "Breakdown", "Green River", "Mandolin Wind", "Stories We Could Tell", and "I'm Tired Of Singing My Song In Las Vegas". Pass The Chicken & Listen has the Everly Brothers hearkening a bit towards the past -- coming together in warm harmonies, recorded with a country-ish twang by Chet Atkins -- who really seems to get the vibe right for this fading chapter in the pair's career. There's a strong undercurrent of sadness that really gives the music a great sound -- deeper feelings than standard countrified rock, and a great reminder of the way the Everlys could always bring a little something extra to a record. Titles include "Husbands & Wives", "Ladies Love Outlaws", "Lay It Down", "Woman Don't Try To Tie Me Down", "A Nickel For The Fiddler", and "Paradise".
but am still waiting for it to come in the mail.
