GDA Music section updated with lyrics for Foreverly

By Matt /Mar. 27, 2014 / 0 Comments

[pic=Foreverly]112113_foreverly.jpg[/pic]Last November, Billie Joe and popular singer-songwriter Norah Jones surprised us all when they announced they had teamed up to rerecord the Everly Brother's Songs Our Daddy Taught Us, a covers collection of the brothers' favorite songs.

The album released under minor promotion outside of the Green Day and Norah Jones worlds but did garner some interest from Billboard (peaking at 19 on Hot 200) and digital download services. Phil Everly even mentioned the album in an interview shortly before his passing earlier this year.

Now included in our reorganized music section are the lyrics to the album, along with the track listing and official videos for "Long Time Gone," "Silver Haired Daddy of Mine," and "Kentucky."
