<< The best version of "don't worry", however, is Mark
playing guitar for The Everly Brothers, circa the
"heartaches and harmonies" boxset ; reportedly, he
wrote the song for them (I'd love to hear the story
behind that.) >>
I think you mean "Why Worry,"
don'tcha Kelly?
That song did indeed appear on the Everlys' (AMAZING, btw) (imvho) 1986 album
"Born Yesterday."
Not quite sure about the story behind this,
but the track sounds to what's left of my ears like a leftover from Don and
Phil's previous album "EB 84," wherein producer (ugh!!) Dave Edmunds invited
any and all from amongst his musical circle to contribute tunes for the Brothers
to cover (....most notable of which was "On The Wings Of A Nightingale,"
perhaps the greatest P. McCartney composition of the past two decades).
Apparently the Everlys still occasionally perform "Why Worry" in concert, too.
so Check Em Out,
