DYLAN COVERS #130 R.I.P - Phil Everly - Abandoned Love/Lay Lady Lay

30 Second Interview Bob Dylan Dylan Covers Everly Brothers R.I.P.

R.I.P. Phil Everley 1939-2014

The Brothers Everly

Growing up in the 50's and 60's it would be hard not have heard the the fabulous Everly Brothers. At one time they were my favourite group and Cathy's Clown was my favourite song for a very long time.

They had a string of great songs which still pass the test of time. I bet all you 'young guns' out there are aware of many of their hits like, Cathy's Clown, The Price of Love, Wake up little Suzie, Crying in the Rain, Love Hurts, they go on and on.

Phil may have passed away but he will always be remembered.

Bob himself recognised the major influence they had.

Here are 2 Dylan covers they released in the 80's. The first is a brilliant take of Abandoned Love and is taken from the album Born Yesterday (1985). The second cover is Lay Lady Lay and is from the album EB 84 (1984)

Bob Dylan Dave Edmonds Dylan Covers Everly Brothers

Here they come!

EVERLY BROTHERS - Abandoned Love(1985)

EVERLY BROTHERS - Lay Lady Lay(1984)


The Everly Brothers version of Bob Dylan`s Abandoned Love, is taken from their Dave Edmunds produced album 'Born Yesterday'(1985). This is a top Track, my favourite cover of the song.

The cover of "Lay Lady Lay", is taken from their album "EB 84"(1984)

Phil Everly stated in interview that Dylan offered the song to them backstage after an appearance by the duo in New York. Phil asked Dylan if he had any new songs that they might record. Dylan picked up a guitar and proceeded to sing the song so quietly that the Everlys thought they heard Dylan sing "Lay lady lay, lay across my big breasts, babe." He thought the song was about lesbians. Don Everly declined the song, saying "thank you, it's a great song, but I don't think we could get away with it. Dylan did not question them about it and went on to record the track himself. Months later, they heard Dylan's version on the radio and realized they'd misunderstood the words. The Everlys felt they'd missed a big opportunity and later recorded the song on their EB 84 album.,,,
