Inspired by the songs performed by the Everly Brothers in the 60s & 70s, these are delicately-paced
& nuanced vocal duets, generally slow-paced.

1 – (3:02) Breakdown. Cover of Kristofferson song. Nice vocals, slow tempo.
2 – (2:44) Empty Boxes* Soft duet harmony, sweet mandolin in the background.
3 – (2:42) Milk Train Upbeat, nice harmonies, good rendition of Tony Romeo song.
4 – (3:35) What Am I Living For* Hauntingly beautiful love ballad. Nice fiddle break.
5 – (2:15) My Little Yellow Bird Different style than the rest of the album’s sound.
6 – (2:17) Devoted To You* Slow duet featuring the vocals, musical backing is soft.
7 – (2:27) Somebody Help Me* Up-tempo rock-flavored song, soaring vocals & guitar.
8 – (3:12) So Sad Don Everly song, slow & sad, like the title says.
9 – (3:58) Omaha Deliberate entry to this song, picks up tempo mid-way, just OK.
10 – (3:00) It’s All Over Another sad, love-gone-wrong song. Slow.
11 – (3:51) Poems, Prayers & Promises So-so cover of the John Denver song.
12 – (2:53) Just What I Was Looking For OK rendition of Carole King song. Sappy.
13 – (2:28) Kentucky* Slow, measured cover of classic song. Droning organ, spare guitar.
