Now here's a master album for ya. Billy Joe + Norah singing "Foreverly" Each song is performed with absolute respect for the original.
I bought the original version of the album back in 1959 because of two songs the Everly's did, "I'm just Here To Get My Baby Out Of Jail" and "Down In The Willow Garden" Wow, Those songs are still classics and when I heard Billy Joe and Norah sing them, it was just incredible. Now I have a few more favorites, like "Roving Gambler", Lightning Express" plus the rest of the album. This is just one of the best albums I ever heard and now it's in my collection. This is gonna be a lotta people's Birthday present this year. Talk about sincere. There is not a week spot on the album. I have never heard a perfect album before. But for me, here it is. If you are old enough to remember the Everly Brothers and if you liked them, This album is waiting for you to buy. I got mine at Amazon, it got here in two days and I am happy. It reminds me of a different time (I was 13, and a different place) at home with a very old record player. The Everly's made this songs sound good back then, Billy Joe + Norah make these same songs sound GREAT!!

It goes without saying that some combinations are just unfathomable, among them a Rodham Clinton/Bush ticket in 2016, broccoli and whipped cream, and Kanye West and humility. On the other hand, hard as it is to imagine, some pairings just work, including oil and vinegar, chocolate and peanut butter and Sandra Bullock and Melissa McCarthy.
Believe it or not, we can now add Norah Jones and Billie Joe Armstrong to the latter list. On FOREVERLY, a reimagining of the Everly Brothers' 1958 release SONGS OUR DADDY TAUGHT US, this disparate pair not only come together, they totally pull it off. (Armstrong, in particular, shines, showing off a whole other side of himself).
Mind you, this is no good-time collaboration....seeped in traditional country, folk and Appalachian roots music, these songs are full of death, loss, death, betrayal, death, regret, death, and....oh, yeah...death. But the pair nails it, never once coming across as posseurs or phonies.
Things kick off on one of the few upbeat notes, with the rollicking "Roving Gambler." Armstrong and Jones both shine vocally, blending together perfectly in a totally complementary manner. However, it's the relaxed arrangement that's the true star here, what with the subtle percussion, shimmering acoustic guitars and spirited harmonica. GREAT way to start things off!
If you didn't know better, you would swear "Long Time Gone" was a classic recording lifted right from the 50's. One of the disc's few love songs, it allows the dynamic duo to really play off of each other, with Armstrong all assured, yet vulnerable, and Jones almost coy and kittenish, yet strong and steely. THIS is what harmonizing is all about! Brilliant.
You might think "Lightning Express" would be a rambunctious rockabilly rave-up, but you would be oh, SO, wrong....the first of those aforementioned odes to death and sorrow, it's anything but! And yet, with it's delicate vocals and subdued instrumentation, this sad story/song is a thing of beauty. You can just picture the pair singing this on a front porch as the sun sets and the fireflies start to dance around. Lovely.
There's a nice lilt to "Silver Haired Daddy Of Mine" that's both enticing and confounding. Yes, you have more down beat lyrics about regret and atonement, but you also have an arrangement that lopes along at almost a cheerful pace. Anchored by the pair's confident co-lead vocals, this is one of those things that shouldn't work....but just does!
"Down In The Willow Garden" is one of my favorite cuts off of FOREVERLY. A dark, gothic tale of greed, murder and paying for your sins, this haunted, haunting tune is just captivating. However, the stand out star here is Armstrong, who seems to be channeling his inner Don and Phil. Seriously....based on this performance, Billie Joe COULD be a long lost Everly! Wow!
Things take a slight dip at this point. It's not that "Who's Gonna Shoe Your Pretty Little Feet" and "Oh So Many Years" are bad....it's just that we've pretty much heard (or will hear) both tracks elsewhere on the disc, albeit to slightly stronger effect. That said, "Who's Gonna Shoe....." is a master class in harmonizing. Once again, Armstrong comes across as the long lost third Everly brother, while Jones brings a whole other perspective to the song with a feminine vibe. You would swear that these two have been singing together for years! There's a nice country swing groove to "Oh So Many Years", but this yearning love song seems out of place at this point (However, a full album's worth of this style and sound down the line would definitely work!).
"Barbara Allen" is my other favorite cut. Armstrong takes the lead lead on this hoe-down stomper about lost love, death and maybe even a curse or two. The arrangement is mesmerizing, full of fiddle, tamborine and twang, but it's the lyrics that really get you: "They buried Willie in the old church yard/And Barbara in the new one/From Willie's grave there grew a rose/From Barbara's a green briar." So sad....and so, so SWEET!
The only problem with concept albums like this is that you have to take the good with the bad, and "Rockin' Alone (In An Old Rockin' Chair)" isn't just bad, it's AWFUL! Trite and chiched, this song has not aged well. Jones and Armstrong are in fine form vocally, but it just seems wasted on sappy lyrics that may have seemed sweet 55 years ago. The disc's only real misfire.
Jones takes the lead on "I'm Here To Get My Baby Out Of Jail", and it's a total winner. Jones has been dabbling in Country for a while now (her guest vocal on "If The Law Don't Want You" from Rodney Crowell's 2012 KIN album was especially rewarding!), and the results show here...she wears the track like a fine silk shawl, wrapping herself around in it to pitch perfect perfection. Once again, VERY nice!
There's almost a tinge of flamenco to "Kentucky", which brilliantly shakes things up. This longing ode to a deeply-missed home state chugs along, pulling at the heartstrings. Armstrong and Jones' lead vocals are softly subdued, yet full-bodied. There's a dreamy quality here, tempered by an undercurrent of whistfulness. Gorgeous....just gorgeous.
Things wrap up with (what some are calling) "another one of those 'dead baby' songs." Yes, the child at the center of the song is dying, and, yes, they even bring his/her last Christmas into the mix, but you can't help but be in awe at how the pair makes it all so very touching, vs. maudlin and/or creepy. THAT'S singing at it's most honest, universal and transcendetory.
And it's singing that leaves you wanting more! Here's hoping that FOREVERLY is just the first of many collaborations between Norah Jones and Billie Joe Armstrong (personally, I'd like to see everything from Western Swing to 60's rock!), a pair that shouldn't work, but, much like peanut butter and chocolate, is oh, so, sweet!
(As with all my reviews, I'm docking the disc half a star for not including the lyrics).

Reviewed in the United States on January 19, 2015
The Everly Bros are, in my humble opinion, an underrated, underappreciated American treasure. Once they broke the chains of "pop music" slavery, they put out some fantastic albums. "Pass the Chicken and Listen" produced by Chet Atkins and "Stories We Could Tell" are both shimmering jewel examples of what they could produce. BUT; there is one sort of clinker in their oeuvre. It's an early album (I'm guessing before they became teenybopper stars) called "Songs our Daddy Taught Us" It had lots of those morose, tearjerker Old songs associated with Appalachia and that is fine if that is to your liking. Me; I can only take it in small doses. In any case, my problem with the album is that the tempo never varies much from song to song and that becomes boring after a few tracks. But now Billie Joe Armstrong and Norah Jones have teamed up and recorded the album song for song, sounding remarkably like the Everlys' and adding outstanding new orchestrations. So it's the same old album with a whole new sound and I think the Bros would totally approve. Very Highly Recommended!!!!

Billie Joe and Nora are in perfect voice, but the selection of songs (originally done by the Everly brothers) is downright morbid. I have no idea why they decided to record these songs again except maybe a great respect for Don and Phil. I have the Everly brothers album from years ago of this name and, although it is spare and dark, I somehow still didn't want to put my head in the oven after listening to it all the way through it. These are very strange, dark lyrics and the listener should be forewarned as to that.

There's nothing I dislike about this album. Nora & Billie Joe captured the harmonic spirit of 2 rock & roll & folk music icons. Definitely a must listen-to if you're an Everly Brothers or folk music fan. A great tribute to 2 phenomenal artists. They're surely missed but live on in music. Thank you Nora and Billie Joe.

I'm not really familiar with the original album, so I'm just reviewing it from the perspective of first time hearing these songs. There is absolutely no resemblance to Green Day, so if you were hoping for anything aggressive, you will be disappointed. It is very much a soft country album with nice harmonies and lyrics that remind you of simpler times. I would guess this album is going to appeal to more Norah Jones fans than fans of Billie Joe, but I'm a Green Day fan, and I really like it. Part of what makes Green Day so good is their harmonies, and now we know where Billy Joe's love of vocal harmonies came from. The Beatles of course, but also The Everly Brothers. This is a very nice little side project, and a stark contrast to the angry punk rock style of Green Day. I respect Billie Joe even more for his willingness to release something that is so different from what has made him popular.
