Don Everly and his younger brother Phil were in the first group of acts to be inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1986.
As a songwriter Don tapped into a strain of Appalachian gothic despair that was absorbed by audiences as teenage heartache. He was the dark brother, singing “Turn the wheel and let it spin, tip the glass and see the bottom, can’t you see you’ll never win?” . He once told a CNN interviewer, “I had this haunted feeling all my life, of being odd man out.”
“When Phil and I started out, everyone hated rock & roll,” he told Rolling Stone’s Kurt Loder in 1986. “The record companies didn’t like it at all — felt it was an unnecessary evil. And the press: interviewers were always older than us, and they let you know they didn’t like your music, they were just doing the interview because it was their job. Then along came the Sixties, and everyone suddenly got real young, and if you were over thirty, they didn’t trust you.
