New CD: Everett Lilly & Everybody and Their Brother
"I think when we all get to Heaven we’re gonna find out that Everett Lilly is God’s favorite mandolin player-- and mine too!"-- Marty Stuart
Swift River Music is delighted to announce the release of Everett Lilly & Everybody and Their Brother, a new project by one of the great pioneers in bluegrass music and one of its most influential musicians: singer and mandolinist Everett Lilly. Everett and his sons Charles, Daniel, and Mark are joined on this project by a slew of bluegrass and country all-stars, including Marty Stuart, Rhonda Vincent, Darrin Vincent, Ronnie McCoury, Rob McCoury, David Ball, Mike Bub, and Billy Walker. (See the complete list).
The Lilly Brothers (Everett and Bea) were among the greatest artists in the brother duet and early bluegrass styles of music. Born in West Virginia and based in Boston during the 1950's and 1960's, they helped turn a whole generation of listeners onto traditional country music, through both their live performances and their recordings. They, along with Don Stover, who performed with them, were inducted into the International Bluegrass Music Association's Hall of Honor in 2002. (Read more.) This project is a celebration of Everett Lilly and the music he helped make internationally popular. It includes a never-before-released cut of Everett and Bea that was recorded during their heyday in the late 1950’s or early ‘60’s. The CD is available online at everettlilly.com.
