"'Stick With Me Baby', 'Lucille' and 'Cathy's Clown' are some highlights here.

Overall, a great album and one of my favourites from the Everly Brothers." Reply

"A haunting debut album, just mostly Roberta & her piano singing songs she'd performed for the past 18 months at Mr Henry's in Washington DC. It does almost feel like a live album hence the title "First Take"the songs are long memorable affairs the standout being The First Time Ever I Saw Your Fac..." [+] Reply

All the while, still being the major d..." [+] Reply
