Our Take

Buddy Holly, the bespectacled rock 'n' roller from Lubbock, Texas, is one of the true pioneers of the genre. The Platinum Collection captures his signature sound and timeless appeal in all its glory.

From the infectious jangle of "Peggy Sue" to the heartfelt crooning of "Everyday," this three-disc set is a musical journey through Holly's all-too-short but impactful career. His innovative use of vocal harmonies and inventive song structures set him apart from his peers, earning him a place in the rock 'n' roll hall of fame.

But what truly sets Buddy Holly apart is his ability to infuse his music with genuine emotion. Songs like "True Love Ways" and "It Doesn't Matter Anymore" showcase his vulnerability and sincerity, making him a relatable figure to fans young and old.

The Platinum Collection also delves into Holly's influence on future generations of musicians, with covers by artists as diverse as The Beatles, Elvis Costello, and Weezer. His impact on the music industry is undeniable, and this collection serves as a fitting tribute to his enduring legacy.

So grab your favourite pair of specs, crank up the volume, and let Buddy Holly's timeless tunes transport you back to a simpler time when rock 'n' roll ruled the airwaves. Trust us, you won't regret it. Buddy Holly: The Platinum Collection is a must-have for any music lover's collection.

About the artist

Buddy Holly

Buddy Holly, the bespectacled rock 'n' roll icon, may have been cut tragically short at the age of 22, but his impact on music continues to reverberate through the ages. With his distinctive hiccupping vocal style and innovative guitar playing, Holly helped shape the sound of the 1950s and beyond. Holly burst onto the scene in the late 1950s with his band The Crickets, releasing hit after hit, including classics like "Peggy Sue" and "That'll Be the Day." His unique blend of rockabilly, country, and pop proved to be a winning formula, earning him legions of fans and establishing him as a true pioneer of rock 'n' roll. But Holly wasn't just a talented musician - he was also a bit of a fashion icon, with his trademark thick-rimmed glasses and slicked-back hair setting him apart from his contemporaries. And let's not forget his quirky sense of style, with his penchant for quirky patterns and bold colours. Despite his untimely death in a plane crash in 1959, Buddy Holly's legacy lives on in the countless musicians he influenced. From The Beatles to Bob Dylan, his impact can be heard in the music of artists across genres and generations. So next time you find yourself bopping along to a classic rock 'n' roll tune, give a tip of your hat to the one and only Buddy Holly.
