- The Everly Brothers always considered home as the area in Muhlenberg County, Kentucky. In Central City (close to the former site of Brownie, Don Everly's birthplace) you can find the Visitor Centre which houses a small Everly Brothers museum which includes Don Everly's MG car. Also in Central City is Rose Hill Cemetery where you can find Phil Everly's grave. Also father Ike Everly's grave.
Take a look at our other travel content at: @OceanHops
We make a brief stop outside the Lighthouse Baptist Church which featured in the 1980's BBC Arena documentary on the Everly Brothers, Songs of Innocence and Heartache. Just south of Central City is the 'city' of Drakesboro. This was the home of Mose Rager, which also featured in the documentary. Here is a fountain dedicated to the 'Four Legends' of thumbpicking style of guitar playing - Kennedy Jones, Mose Rager, Ike Everly and Merle Travis. Also close by is the former mining town of Paradise which John Prine wrote a song about which the Everly Brothers recorded for their Pass The Chicken & Listen LP. The final stop on this leg of our road trip is at Green River - another place mentioned in the song Paradise as well as the Everly Brothers written song Green River. This was on the Stories We Could Tell LP
We're in Central City, Kentucky and just been in the Visitor Center where there's a little Everly
Brothers Museum and shown around by Wayne and Elenni. Don Everly's car in the window there.
You hear some of it on the 'Roots' album, some of the (Everly Family).
Peabody Coal Mining Company, moved out of both towns.
'From Brownie to Iowa to Knoxville to Nashville to Hollywood to England and around the world, Don and Phil have taken the music of Kentucky as taught by their parents and now they're bringing it back home to Central City. August 25th 1988.'
That was the start of the Homecoming concerts that the Everlys did for the next 20 odd years I believe, here in Central City, Don was born in Brownie, Kentucky which no longer exists and it was about two miles or so over east of Central City and of course Phil was born in Chicago, Illinois when the Everly family moved up not long after Don was born.
Thumb-picking legends down here. Mose Rager, Ike Everly, Kennedy Jones Kennedy Jones showed Mose Rager and Ike Everly the thumb-picking style
John Prine and Jim Walker. Jim Walker plays a flute. It is a bit off the track of Nashville and Memphis Well worth a visit and we've got a couple of other stops to make in this area related to the Everly Brothers there's a great Everly Brothers documentary was made in the 80s. It was part of the Arena documentary on the BBC in the UK I'm just going to go to a few spots relating to the documentary The Everly Brothers visited during that documentary. in the Everly Brothers Arena documentary they show their cousin, their cousin Ted Everly is the pastor of this church - Lighthouse Baptist Church
it shows Phil Everly performing, singing Amazing Grace with other members of the extended Everly family
So Phil Evlerly is here. Rosehill Cemetery this is Just on Everly Brothers Boulevard. Ike Everly died October 22nd 1975. That was during the 10-year separation The Everly Brothers had
The Everly Brothers' mother, Margaret, who died in December 2021 is actually buried down in Woodlawn Cemetery in Nashville. So neither of them grew up in this area but they definitely had their roots here and it's interesting, the song Green River on the the 1972 album 'Stories We CouldTell' There's a fountain commemorating the Four Legends here. Kennedy Jones, Moses Rager, Ike Everly
and Merle Travis. 'Muhlenberg County, Kentucky is known around the world as the home of thumb-picking, a style of guitar playing that is
characterized by use of the thumb to play bass and rhythm while the fingers play melody and harmony resulting in an impression that at least two guitarists are responsible for the sound that is created. The individuals that are credited with developing this unique style and ultimately passing it on to guitar pickers around the world have become known as the Four Legends. Those men are Kennedy Jones, Mose Rager, Ike Everly and Merle Travis.'

As a Central City native who now works for the city water department, I must say it was a pleasure watching your video! I'm glad you enjoyed your visit to our city and other important locations in Muhlenberg County. Wayne and Elanee are amazing people that take tourism very seriously in our small town. Thank you for stopping by and taking the time to share your experience with the world. Be sure to swing back by once our new park area is completed!
Hello from Wales! 🏴😊 We were so glad we took the time to detour, it was worth it. I've been a fan of the Evs since I was around 12 and have always wanted to try and squeeze this visit in somwhere on our holidays to the US. Yes, Wayne and Elanee are terrific ambassadors and were so welcoming and aprreciative that we had visited. Definitely would like to come back one day to see the park as the plans and miniatures looked fantastic! Thank you for watching 👍
