Everly Brothers BBC doc - Songs of innocence & experience torrent

The Everly Brothers were among the most successful and revered of all the giants of early rock 'n' roll.
A determining influence on the Beatles, Simon and Garfunkel and the Beach Boys, they brought the ethereal
harmonies of the Appalachian Mountains to the wild mix of rock 'n' roll.

First broadcast in 1984 as part of their reunion after ten bitter years apart, Arena traces their fabulous career,
their split and triumphant reunion. Most of all, Don and Phil wanted to revisit their roots in the coal mining
area of Kentucky where their father Ike, a miner, had been a local guitar star. He too had played with
his coal mining brothers, in the 30s. In the moody atmosphere of Muhlenberg County, they have an emotional
reunion with three generations of Everlys.

With contributions from master musician and producer Chet Atkins, songwriters Felice and Boudleaux Bryant
and the legendary guitar singer and ex-coal miner, Ike's close friend Mose Rager.
