Full review
This album is the perfect introduction to Buddy Holly. It is a must have for any well rounded music collection. It has most of the well known and classic tracks such as "Oh Boy" and "Rave On" and "Heart Beat". To some the tracks may sound a bit dated they are of their time (The late 1950's) but the simple lyrics and Buddys unmistakable voice with his hallmark hic-up sound are timeless moving and very catchy.
Buddy was a motivated and ambituous young man who had great vision.
At the time that these records were produced Buddy was ahead of his time producing and writing the tracks aswell as singing and playing the instruments.
The tracks are infectous the lyrics - as I have mentioned are quite simple but meaningful.
If Buddys life was not cut short so very very young I am quite sure that he would have gone on to produce music and would have had a lot to contribute to the music of today. As it is he was a great influence on the Beatles (You can see the influence in their early tracks). Without the Beatles who knows - no Oasis definately - but who else. As it is there is a definate and strong link between Buddy and the music of today so which self respecting music fan would not have this CD as part of their collection?
12 wonderful tracks from the balads of "Maybe Baby" and "Raining in my Heart" to the fast moving "Its so Easy" and "Peggy Sue" and all for around £5 - you cant go wrong!

At Buddy Hollys funeral the vicar said that he was going to hell (Rock and Roll was the devils music). I am sure he is somewhere much more comfortable looking down on us all. When listening to some of the songs you are almost moved to tears especially when you think how young he was and how much more he could have done but we have to be grateful that we still have his music - it lives on!
