Buddy Holly & The Crickets - Very Best Of Buddy Holly And The Crickets, The (Music CD)

Rock 'n' Roll legend Buddy Holly's all-too-short life is documented on this compilation, detailing the highlights of his work with backing band The Crickets. The likes of 'That'll Be The Day' and 'Peggy Sue Got Married' will be familiar to most, but this extensive selection of stomping numbers shows, if nothing else, the sheer prolific nature of Holly in his brief career. 'Words Of Love' may be familiar to some listeners, having been covered not only by The Diamonds (who had a hit with it in 1957), but also The Beatles. This two-disc collection ultimately is a snapshot of the wildly productive Holly and his Crickets, but one that captures his verve and performance nature very well.
