Featuring Reworkings of Songs from the Everly Brothers' 1958 Album Songs Our Daddy Taught Us by Billie Joe Armstrong & Norah Jones

Foreverly (Reprise Records) is the 2013 Everly Brothers cover collaboration from Grammy-winning Green Day frontman, Billie Joe Armstrong, and Grammy-winning singer/songwriter, Norah Jones, who first met ten years ago when they both performed with Stevie Wonder and his band at the Grammy Awards.

The collection is inspired by Songs Our Daddy Taught Us, an album of traditional Americana songs reinterpreted, recorded and released by the Everly Brothers in 1958. Billie Joe and Norah's album captures the beauty of the Everly Brothers' stunning close harmonies to create a moving and powerful testament to these traditional ballads.

"Man, what made (the Everly Brothers) want to make this record?" Armstrong told Rolling Stone. "It seemed so cryptic that these guys would be doing songs about death, being in jail and lost love. I liked the whole concept that this was something taught to them, and now it's being taught to me. I thought it would be cool to pass the tradition one more time."

"Billie Joe's enthusiasm about the songs and his low-key, open approach to the music was very inviting," adds Jones. "He wasn't set in his ideas, which made it fun for us both to sort of discover what felt right for us, musically. I loved that the original was completely stripped down and a little more obscure. There was a lot of room to interpret the songs in our own way."
