Despite the common composer, the artists vary too much for some of them to be on the same disc. Scott B. Saul  |  3 reviewers made a similar statement
I like the album rather better. J L Krumditty  |  5 reviewers made a similar statement
The Rave On compilation is a wonderful tribute to the late Buddy Holly. Grimes  |  10 reviewers made a similar statement

5.0 out of 5 stars Rave on, Indeed! June 28, 2011
Format:Audio CD
Let me concur with my fellow reviewer that if you don't own the originals, rush out and buy the 3-disc BUDDY HOLLY MEMORIAL EDITION. That collection is required listening for any fan of rock music. However, this September would have been Buddy Holly's 75th birthday and this tribute album hits all the right notes.

Keep in mind, this is a tribute album, not a bar band cover album. Although some of the most memorable cuts on this album don't stray far from the originals: Nick Lowe's "Changing All Those Changes," Justin Townes Earle's "Maybe Baby" and Graham Nash's "Raining in My Heart" are highlights.

But there are new interpretations like Florence + The Machine's New Orleans-influenced "Not Fade Away," The Black Keys slinky interpretation of "Dearest," and perhaps my favorite track, Patti Smith's plaintive reading of "Words of Love."

Buddy Holly may have tragically left this earth in 1959 leaving behind only three years' of recordings, but as this disc proves; his music will live on forever. Listen to this with open ears and there are many rewards to be discovered. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED

5.0 out of 5 stars Rave On indeed! June 28, 2011
Format:Audio CD
Got the CD and love it. I know a lot of purists out there will come into the CD without an open mind but there are tracks on this for everyone. Some tracks are more true to Buddy's originals like My Morning Jacket or Fiona Apple + Jon Brion while other versions are out there like Modest Mouse and McCartney's.

The highlights are "Dearest" by The Black Keys, "True Love Ways" by My Morning Jacket, "Not Fade Away" by Florence + The Machine (a rousing New Orleans-style take on the classic track), and Cee Lo Green's take on "(You're So Square) Baby I Don't Care." I also love the Julian Casablancas track, the aforementioned "Everyday" by Fiona Apple + Jon Brion, "Words of Love" by Patti Smith, the Jack White-produced "Crying, Waiting, Hoping" by Karen Elson, and "Oh Boy!" by She & Him. Even the Kid Rock track is good...which might surprise some folks as I was leery of his contribution to this compilation previously. He really does a good job with "Well All Right" so kudos.

19 tracks for $10 is a real deal but if you check out Amazonmp3 today, they have it for only $3.99 on today's daily deal. This is a MUST-HAVE summer record. Pick it up!

1.0 out of 5 stars REALLY POOR January 29, 2012
Format:Audio CD
What a disappointment. Some really terrible covers. What was that thing that Paul McCartney did at the end of his song? Save your money. I'm glad I borrowed this from a friend and was able to give it back.

4.0 out of 5 stars Great with one stark exception
I love to listen to this, front to back, with the notable exception of "It's So Easy". Love the song, McCartney's rendition hurts my ears. Read more

3.0 out of 5 stars Rave On: Buddy Holly
When your hear this cd you'll find a lot of very different versions of Buddy Holly songs. But I think it's funny to hear other artists versions of Buddy's great songs.

5.0 out of 5 stars Surprisingly good
Love the interpretations of Buddy's songs. McCartney was a special surprise. Had never heard Jenny O before but liked her song.

2.0 out of 5 stars Worst tribute album of the 3 I have (coming from a HUGE FAN)
Great artists in this album, which leaves one to really want it. Honestly, I'm sure I'm not the only one who has Buddy Holly & The Beatles as my 2 largest influences. Read more

A bit before my time, I was exposed to Buddy Holly by an Uncle. I went to summer camp every year from the ages 6-15; which were for 7 weeks. Read more

Some RE Do's of Buddy's Great songs are poor--------------a few are good on this album.(Paul Mc Cartney's attempt is especially poor)This is not the best tribute albumn for sure.

1.0 out of 5 stars No...
I understand the reason behind this album. It's a tribute, which is greatly deserved. But I must say that, I think, it fails miserably. Read more

One of the best tracks on here belongs to KID ROCK! Yes, that means pass on this release and stick to the originals. Read more
