The Neverby Brothers
Paul and Dave's first Top Ten single.
Dave and Paul Neverby, fraternal twins, born in Snuff, Tennessee in 1951, experienced a meteoric rise in the world of songwriting and performance as The Neverbe Brothers, going from revival-tent gigs to huge arena concerts in the span of a few short years. Like many artists in this unforgiving business of music, they did their best to ride the fickle roller coaster of the record-buying public, but as they sailed into old age and diminishing relevance, discovered that it all boiled back down to just feeling good to sing. In their reunion concert, they unabashedly share their forays into drugs, lust, cults (and other religious tangents), “selling out”, brotherly hate, and finally brotherly love. They are nothing if not honest in their approach to this larger-than-life event.
They were then, they are now, and they will always be…The fabulous Neverby Brothers.

What all the fuss and bother boils down to: "We'll never be anything but who we are, That'll just have to do, I don't know about you, but it's been a helluva ride so far, So what if we'll never be president, rock star or king, we can take that alright, we won't put up a fight, And good god, it sure does feel good to sing!"
Dave and Paul's greatest hits, released on Big Time Records, Franklin, Tennessee, remastered and released in 2003. Bonus tracks include excerpts from solo projects.
