Tell me more: "Any musician with a set of ears was influenced by the Everly Brothers," Graham Nash says at the beginning of the excellent documentary film Harmonies From Heaven, newly available on DVD, Blu-ray and digital. Later on, Rolling Stones guitarist Keith Richards opines: "They were the country side of rock 'n' roll." "Harmonies From Heaven" features not only Nash and Richards, but Art Garfunkel, Dave Edmunds, Albert Lee and many more influential musicians and industry insiders who discuss how they were influenced by the Everly Brothers. From 1957 to 1962, brothers Phil and Don Everly scored success on both the pop and country charts with a string of undeniable hits, and the energy and magic of the brothers' ascension is celebrated across the documentary. In addition to the 90-minute documentary Harmonies From Heaven, there is a bonus disc with a full-length concert film captured at a nightclub in Sydney in 1968 featuring the Everly Brothers performing "Bye Bye Love" "Wake Up Little Susie," "Cathy's Clown," "All I Have to Do Is Dream" and many more unforgettable classics.

You might like if you enjoy: The Beatles
Tell me more: Just when you think you have heard everything the Beatles have ever recorded, along comes another jewel to help celebrate the legacy of the Fab Four. Released earlier this month, the Beatles' Live at the Hollywood Bowl (available on audio CD, vinyl and digitally) truly captures the energy and fan frenzy of Beatlemania. Recorded at the Hollywood Bowl during a trio of sold-out summertime dates in 1964 and 1965, the original recordings have been remastered by Giles Martin, the talented son of the Beatles' late producer George Martin. The great news now, that is unlike the 1977 vinyl release, the Beatles' stellar voices and musicianship can be heard clearly above the girls' screams. In addition, there are four additional bonus tracks not included on the original release. Information: thebeatles.com.
