Three disc set Down In The Bottom focuses on the period from 1966 to 1968 when the Everlys recorded mostly in Los Angeles, searching for a musical direction. It includes the whole of the albums The Hit Sound (1967), The Everly Brothers Sing (1967) and Roots (1968), with bonus tracks including singles and demos, and several tracks which remained unreleased for many years. Disc 1 presents the The Hit Sound album, recorded from December 1966 onwards, with contemporary rock ’n’ roll and pop covered in Everlys harmony style updated with the cream of the LA session crew including Glen Campbell, Larry Knechtel, Ray Pohlman, Hal Blaine. Disc 2 presents The Everly Brothers Sing album, the Everlys response to the prevailing ‘youthquake’ band sound straddling the transatlantic. Disc 3 presents the Roots album, pieced together from the LA sessions.
