Synopsis

Product Description

Bobby says this is his own favourite album and we won't argue with that. More rockabilly styled than anything he's done before, these recent recordings of Buddy Holly songs confirm his respect and admiration for Holly & The Crickets. With backing by Bobby's own band The Vees (featuring his sons) he rearranges and breathes new life into the songs. This album was originally released in the US on Bobby Vee's own label; we have added extra tracks and a 54 page booklet detailing his life in music, with notes by John McPhee. Many unpublished photos are also included. One bonus track with The Crickets

(5 out of 5 stars)

"I have been a big fan of Bobby's since his first recording in 1959. He filled in on the show that Bubby Holly never made it to. It's ironic that Bobby sounded so much like Buddy, and many of his recordings can trick people into thinking that it really is Buddy singing. Bobby went back and retrieved many of Buddy's songs, some of them not so well known, recorded them much in Buddy's style and presents it in his own style, which incidentally has carried him through over 40 years as a consistently popular entertainer. He just seems to get better. Bobby has always loved Buddy's music and what better tribute than to keep it popular with the older fans and introduce it to the younger generation who never had the opportuniy to become familiar with Buddy and his music. If you like Buddy Holly and if you like Bobby Vee, you will love this album. Bobby Vee is a legendary performer and all around great guy who possesses an amazing sense of humor. You gotta get this one."
