Buddy Holly’s influence on popular music cannot be overstated. Without Holly, it is arguable that bands like The Beatles, The Rolling Stones, and artists like Eric Clapton and Elton John, would’ve looked and sounded very different. His songs form the very backbone of early rock ’n’ roll, and his band’s schema provided the template for modern rock bands the world over. His songs are timeless classics now. But back in the 1950s they were new, vibrant, and exciting. This carefully curated collection draws together some of his finest, most iconic songs and showcases the talent of this unlikely rock star, whose life was tragically cut short at 22 years of age. In spite of this, Holly left behind a legacy that few could ever hope to emulate.
