Our Take

BUDDY HOLLY & THE CRICKETS: The Very Best Of

In the hallowed halls of rock 'n' roll history, there are few figures as influential and enduring as Buddy Holly & The Crickets. The bespectacled Texan and his band of merry men were pioneers of the genre, paving the way for countless acts to come.

This compilation, The Very Best Of, serves as a tantalizing glimpse into the genius of Holly and his bandmates. From the infectious jangle of "That'll Be the Day" to the bittersweet charm of "Everyday," these songs are absolute bangers, guaranteed to get even the most stoic of listeners tapping their feet.

Holly's distinctive vocals are a joy to behold, imbuing each track with a sense of youthful exuberance and heart-on-sleeve emotion. The Crickets, meanwhile, provide the perfect accompaniment with their tight, punchy instrumentals.

Standout tracks include the rollicking "Peggy Sue" and the melancholic "Raining In My Heart," showcasing the range and depth of Holly's songwriting prowess.

Sure, the production may sound a tad dated by today's standards, but that only adds to the album's vintage charm. So do yourself a favour and pop on The Very Best Of – your ears will thank you for it. Buddy Holly & The Crickets may have left us too soon, but their music lives on in all its toe-tapping glory. Long live rock 'n' roll!

About the artist

Buddy Holly and The Crickets

Ah, Buddy Holly & The Crickets, the legendary rock 'n' roll group hailing from Lubbock, Texas. With their signature sound and geek-chic style, these lads were the epitome of 1950s cool. Buddy Holly, the bespectacled frontman with a voice smoother than a milkshake, was a true trailblazer in the early days of rock music. His innovative songwriting and knack for catchy tunes set the standard for generations to come. And let's not forget his iconic horn-rimmed glasses, which surely inspired hipster fashionistas worldwide. The Crickets, comprised of Jerry Allison on drums and Joe B. Mauldin on bass, were the perfect complement to Holly's guitar wizardry. Together, they created a sound that was fresh, lively, and irresistibly danceable. Their hits, like "That'll Be the Day" and "Oh, Boy!", still stand the test of time, proving that good music never goes out of style. Despite their tragically short-lived career, Buddy Holly & The Crickets left an indelible mark on the music world. Their influence can be heard in everyone from The Beatles to Weezer, a testament to their enduring legacy. So crank up the volume, put on your dancing shoes, and let Buddy Holly & The Crickets take you on a trip down memory lane. It'll be a rockin' good time, guaranteed.
