What Are You Listening To?

[Music Head]

from my library (vinyl)



I would have thought this rockabilly king would have scored a little higher than this. His career is indeed legendary, heightened of course by his tragic plane crash fate. Who knows where he would have taken us beyond that short 3 year span of his heyday. Some big hits here, but it probably would have done much better as a single album. My biggest problem with Holly was that hiccuping sound which got to be annoying. Picky, I know. Saw some bio movie which I thought was pretty good, Buddy played by Gary Bussey. Gotta go with that last track as my fav, even though I remember it better by Peter & Gordon. Both versions are excellent and it is a Holly song. The only track on here that goes beyond a 3 piece I think. Another Holly composition of Not Fade Away completely flops. Guess the Stones version was too imbedded in my brain. Same with Words Of Love. How could the Beatles version be topped? Some excellent vintage stuff on those live clips, and check out that 78 rpm on track #9.

I LIKE THIS ALBUM

Worst Track - Rock Around With Ollie Vee

Best Track - True Love Ways

Just you know why - why you and I
will by and by - know true love ways

Sometimes we’ll sigh - sometimes we’ll cry
and we’ll know why just you and I know true love ways

Throughout the days our true love ways
will bring us joys to share with those who really care

Sometimes we’ll sigh - sometimes we’ll cry
and we’ll know why just you and I know true love ways
Throughout the days our true love ways
will bring us joys to share with those who really care

Sometimes we’ll sigh - sometimes we’ll cry
and we’ll know why just you and I know true love ways
