The Blue Sky Boys- The Sunny Side Of Life 5xCD *320kbps (Bear Family, 2003)

"No one in country music has done vocal duets better than the Blue Sky Boys. If your taste runs more to Conway and Loretta, George and Tammy, or Wynonna and Naomi, listen to the effortless, exquisite singing of Bill and Earl Bolick....
Their intricate yet simple harmonies, their perfectly matching voices, and their unadorned mandolin and guitar instrumental backing set them off from the competition, so much so that two generations of subsequent duet singers echo them, some without realizing it. The Everly Brothers and the Louvin Brothers, themselves recognized as exceptional vocal duets, acknowledge the influence of the Blue Sky Boys." (David Vinopal, Allmusic)

Respost- -320kbps upgrade. CD rips by yours truly. I absolutely love The Blue Sky Boys. They are gospel harmony perfected. And this deluxe, near-comprehensive Bear Family collection (or the JSP box) is the way to go. A total must.
