Singing harmony is not the same as singing a part in a choral group, where you know you’re going to have to hit this note and then that note. There are nuances that change every day. Maybe today you have a slight cold or voice fatigue, or you’ve done something and there’s a slight difference in your breathing. Phil Everly Read Quote
Don and I are infamous for our split, but we’re closer than most brothers. Harmony singing requires that you enlarge yourself, not use any kind of suppression. Harmony is the ultimate love. Phil Everly Read Quote
It’s hard to get fluffed up about love anymore. I’ve lived it. I try to avoid it. If I’m extremely fond of a woman, if I think I might really wind up walking down the aisle again… I go in another direction. Phil Everly Read Quote
You couldn’t get me to go travel around and sit in a hotel room again. I have no interest in doing that. So everybody’s happy. I am, at 74. Some people like doing it, but I never was much for that, anyway. It’s a lot of work. So the only thing I miss about all of it is the camaraderie of the tour, but that doesn’t offset the rest of it.

Whenever people talk about Don and I recording again, which almost everybody usually mentions, I always say ‘Well, there’s plenty of things that you haven’t heard! Plenty of things out there to discover!’ Phil Everly Read Quote
In the beginning of rock n’ roll, there was always innovation. Artists were always trying to do something new and something different. Phil Everly Read Quote
My son and I run a string company, and he has a studio there, and I go down sometimes and we’ll record. Phil Everly Read Quote
If you lose your concentration singing harmony, then it’s lackluster and no fun to watch. Phil Everly Read Quote
In my old age, it’s kind of funny – at night, what I like to do is watch TV when I go to sleep. And what I really like is to put on a Gene Autry film, because he sings really well. So he sings me to sleep. Phil Everly Read Quote
