The 'Chirping Crickets' (LP, 180g Vinyl)

Holly, Buddy

(Number One Essentials) 22 tracks - 180g HQ Virgin Vinyl reissue - great sound quality

Wayback in 1957 it wasn't often that singers or instrumentalists made a hit with their first record, and an even harder task was producing a million-seller whether it was the first or the fiftieth attempt. The Crickets, however, accomp-lished both in one fabulous fell swoop—and with their own song to boot. That'll be the day, the tune that sky-rocketed the sparkling young quartet to stardom, is just one of the many great songs included in this album, and all are given the very special 'Chirping' Cricket treatment. The comparatively new group was composed of four young melody-makers with talent and energy to burn. Texas-born Buddy Holly, the oldest member at 21, was the lead singer, guitarist and founder of the group. Joe Maudlin, bass, who hailed from Bullock, Texas—the same town that fostered Buddy was the 'baby' of the quartet at 18. Jerry Allison, a 19-year-old native of Hillsboro, Texas, did a fine job on the drums. Niki Sullivan, guitar, held the distinction of being the only 'foreigner' in the group - he came from Southgate, California (where he was born) at the age of 20.
This recording contains one of Buddy Holly's most famous and important albums: his debut LP The ‘Chirping’ Crickets, a masterpiece that helped define the very nature of rock “n” roll.
The original twelve tracks on his debut album are a greatest hits collection featuring such unmistakable gems as ‘Oh Boy!’, ‘Not Fade Away’, ‘Maybe Baby’ and ‘That'll Be the Day’, all of which testify to the immortality of rock “n” roll.
Holly's ringing guitar and hiccuping vocals came from a different sensibility than Chuck Berry's blues-tinged playing, but the backbeat and optimism of the lyrics brought them together under the banner of rock “n” roll. Even the lesser-known songs on the album are a joy to listen to.
Together with the ten bonus tracks, this album is a true greatest hits release from Buddy Holly.
