Even if Don's voice is no longer as stout and pure as it once was, and even if the harmonies don't soar quite as high as they once did, it was still nostalgia of the most satisfying sort.

 Liner notes for "A Date with the Everly Brothers"
One of the anomalies of It's Everly Time was that it did not contain the mammoth hit single "Cathy's Clown," though it was an era in which rock'n'roll albums by hit acts were anchored by one or more chart singles whenever possible.
Not that listeners were complaining: "Cathy's Clown" is one of the greatest of Everlys classics, from its skipping martial drum beat and peerless descending harmonies to its downcast self-deprecating lyric (inspired by Don Everly's high school sweetheart).
Also on A Date with the Everly Brothers was "Cathy's Clown"'s B-side, Boudleaux and Felice Bryant's "Always It's You," which was something of a throwback to the poppiest ballads they had recorded in the late 1950s for Cadence, with its shimmering reverberant guitar and gentle vibes.
