Everly Brothers - Muskrat

[rwb010109]

Good old song,,RWB

[fodera6]

Naturally, this is an adaption of an old bluegrass song. For an authentic version of the original, check Frank Wakefield & Red Allen's version from "The Kitchen Tapes" on Acoustic Disc.

There is a fantastic version of Muskrat by Wilko Johnson on the Watch Out! album.

Cracking little tune!!

@therickynelson1 Thanks for commenting, there needs to be more animal songs. What do you think about a song about ardvarks? hehe

[therickynelson1]

First their was Batman and Robin. Now for the other Dynamic Duo, DON AND PHIL EVERLY.The best instictive singers that have and will ever live. I don't know about you guys and gals, but living on the same block with both dynamic duos would suit me just fine.

I have "Muskrat" on the LP "The Golden Hits of The Everly Brothers", but only the 45 has that beautiful little flute solo at the end. Until I heard this again since 1961, I wasn't sure if I had dreamt it, but there it is. Thanks for uploading this Everly Bros. classic!

Thanks for commenting, I'm just glad people appreciate the music of this time period. :-)

Love this version, as well as the others I've heard! Can't beat those Everlys! Great posting. Thanks, 01Musicfan, and Thanks, Belovia for sending "Don't Blame Me"!

The Everly Brothers Rock! Thanks for your comment.

After establishing themselves on Cadence since 1957, the Brothers signed on to Warners in 1960. Their recording career was interrupted the following year, however, when Don & Phil decided to join the Marine Corps.

The Everlys have made an impact on several performers. You can hear their obvious vocal influence when you listen to Buddy Holly, The Beatles, The Hollies, The Searchers, The Byrds or Simon & Garfunel for starters.

Ths is just one my favs and luv the cowbell sound!

[01musicfan]

Can't go wrong with cowbells in a Rock and Roll song!!

[jhoodcountry]

I love this song too. It is a jammin' EvBro tune for sure!

[belovia50]

This is similar to the one I have on the Everly Brothers PLATINUM COLLECTION. I've heard another version of it on the internet with different wording, making three versions I've heard thus far. Thank you, 01musicfan.

[01musicfan]

No problem, this is the one I'm familiar with, maybe the other was an alternate cut or a Stereo version. Thank you for cpmmenting.

[belovia50]

The only difference I'm finding in this one and the one I have is the music at the end of this song. It's different. I really do like this version. Thanks.

[chalomirof63]

I just posted a comment, but also just saw yours. Yes, it is different with that little flute solo at the end. I love it!!

[EverlyLove]

[01musicfan]

Thanks for the comment, I love this one too, I think it's one of their best Warner Brothers releases.

Thank you for sharing this song with me. I do not remember hearing this one before, so I enjoyed it.
