Buddy Knox was one of the West Texas boys who found a path to the Norman Petty Recording Studio in Clovis, NM in the mid and late '50's and beyond, and earned a contract from one of the NYC labels that Petty had ties with. "Party Doll" is a perfect example of the "Tex-Mex" sound that also was represented by Buddy Holly, Roy Orbison, the Fireballs, and other acts who made records on Seventh Street in Clovis. The other nine tracks on this budget collection are not as catchy as "Party Doll" but they aren't so bad, either. Knox's band was called "The Rhythm Orchids" and one of its members, Jimmy Bowen, had a big hit in the same year as "Party Doll" with a song called "I'm Stickin' With You." Bowen went on to a long career as a producer of pop and country albums. Knox was still making some money from singing "Party Doll" up until his death several years ago. If you ever get to Clovis, you can call the heirs of Norman Petty or the bigwigs in the annual Clovis Music Festival to arrange a tour of the Petty Studio. It is well worth it if the history of rock and roll interests you at all.
