CHIRP ON!, January 2, 2000
By A Customer
This review is from: Chirping Crickets (Audio CD)
Its a cliche...but this music is timeless. To me it sounds as fresh today as back in 1957. I bought this not for the hits, but for the album tracks, which I hadn't heard before. I think my favorite is "Rock Me My Baby", but all of the tracks are superb. FIVE STARS PLUS!

The second greatest pop album ever, January 15, 2005
This review is from: Chirping Crickets (Audio CD)
This is the second greatest pop album ever, next only to the Beach Boys' immortal classic "Pet Sounds". Even the tracks that aren't as great or as well known as the hits (like "That'll Be the Day" or "Oh Boy!") begin to sound great after a while. Buddy Holly only receives competition from Jerry Lee Lewis as my favorite 50's overground rocker. While Jerry perfectly captured the the rebelliousness of the sounds of "satan's music", Buddy Holly captured the teen angst present. These two artists are what drove teenagers to throw away their Bing Crosby records and fall in love with the greatest music ever created by mankind - rock 'n' roll. This album is a must-own collection of catchy pop songs that changed rock forever. Hey, it's cheap too!

One of the seminal albums of Rock'N'Roll, February 27, 1999
This review is from: Chirping Crickets (Audio CD)
The first Buddy Holly album released in his life-time. What a marvellous start to any career, the thunder of 'Oh Boy' the questioning 'Tell Me How' and the totally different 'Not Fade Away' all bundled together with the mega hit 'That'll Be The Day'. A wonderful album of fifties music at its' very best. This was the first introduction of the music of Buddy Holly and The Crickets to the world at large and the impression it made has been felt through the years in the music of The Beatles, The Rolling Stones, Mark Knopfler and many many more up to the present day as evidenced by the tribute album 'Not Fade Away'. Without a doubt one of the seminal albums of Rock'N'Roll.
