So I think Buddy Holly’s debut album is pretty straight-forward… For it’s time, I could see how this would have been incredibly popular… I liked that that there was a bit of an edge to his music – both with his original work on this album, as well as with all of the covers on this album, as I think most of the music up to that point was “nice” and really wasn’t edgy at all… The 2 best originals are easily “Not Fade Away” & “That’ll Be The Day” – and most of the covers are fairly well done, and you can clearly hear Holly’s style embedded in each song… Definitely dated, but you have to start somewhere, and this was a stepping stone for sure in the evolution of rock… Solid 3 for me for historical context, and being Buddy’s 1st album – which introduced his original style into the mix…
