Remembering Don Everly (Neko Case)

The Everly Brothers were a massive influence on some good hippies (Beatles) and tedious hippies (most Laurel Canyon folk). Far more significantly, the Everlys influenced the fabulous Neko Case, who covered "Bowling Green" on her 1997 debut album, The Virginian. Check out this live version from September 13, 2000, at Maida Vale Studios in London. Neko sings with Kelly Hogan, has Jon Rauhouse on pedal steel, and what sounds like Dallas Good (Sadies) on guitar. (Not sure if he was still a Boyfriend). Quit smoking that '70s shit with seeds and stems. Have some '90s northwest bud and avoid the headaches.
