Funny they didn’t sing with Paul on _Graceland_; they did harmony vocals for him on that and it won him a Grammy for Record of the Year.

Absolutely love them. Any time I geek on the Beatles or the Beach Boys’ songwriting, I always take it back one step to the Everlys. “Walk right back,” “Cathy’s Clown,” “Love Hurts,” “Crying in the rain,” “Nancy’s Minuet”…perfect. Just perfect.

I have a DVD of Simon and Garfunkel’s Old Friends concert tour. The 4 of them singing \*together \*blew me totally away!

[http://www.lyricsdownload.com/unknown-paradise-muhlenberg-county-lyrics.html](http://www.lyricsdownload.com/unknown-paradise-muhlenberg-county-lyrics.html) Folks lived outside Evansville. Viewed Muhlenberg County from across the river. Even in the Late 70s there were an interesting number of tailings dumped into the river.
