Free Music Review: mediocre retrospective
Hit: 3 Stars
20th Century Masters: The Best Of Buddy Holly (Millennium Collection) takes the "best of" Buddy Holly and has the audacity to cut and paste it into a mere twelve tracks. These twelve songs are wonderful music by Buddy Holly; but by no means is this a legitimate "Best of" collection. The title is rather misleading; and I dislike that. However, the sound quality is as good as the music; and the artwork is about par for this CD series.
The CD starts with "That'll Be The Day;" this was a huge hit for Buddy and he sings and plays this up right! The guitar is awesome and Buddy sings this brilliantly. Buddy's voice is rather fine; his excellent diction also bolsters his performance. It's all very impressive. "Words Of Love" has Buddy doing a slightly less rocking tune but it still holds its own very well. The music is beautiful and I really like "Words Of Love." Moreover, listen for the high energy "Peggy Sue;" Buddy sings this like the pro he always was and there's no wonder why this became a hit for Buddy. I love it!
"Everyday" puts Buddy firmly into the spotlight as he sings a tender, sweet love ballad; the percussion enhances the natural beauty of this ballad and Buddy never misses a beat! I always liked "Everyday" and I predict that you'll like it, too. "Maybe Baby" has a great flavor to it; Buddy delivers this with just the right amount of rock to keep this baby shining brightly! "Maybe Baby" also sports an excellent guitar arrangement.
"It's So Easy" is another major highlight of this CD; the guitars work great and this is truly great music for dancing! Buddy and his buddies do this to perfection--and beyond!
"True Love Ways" is a softer rock ballad that has a more traditional arrangement complete with strings to accompany Buddy as he sings this charming number. The album ends very nicely with Buddy performing "It Doesn't Matter Any More." "It Doesn't Matter Any More" again proves just how great and special Buddy really was.
Unfortunately, Buddy's talents are precisely the reason why this twelve track CD can't cut it at all as a "best of" compilation. What nerve they had! I will take off two stars to make this a three star review--actually, I suppose it's a one or two star "best of" CD because it's too brief. Buddy's artistry, however, would easily deserve five stars. Too bad I can't give Buddy more than five stars!
Overall, I agree with the reviewer who writes that anyone wanting a Buddy Holly CD would do well to actually consider a two CD set. It would be tough for a single CD to capture all of Buddy's greatest work. The Buddy Holly Collection is a two CD set with fifty tracks; and despite the extra money it costs that two CD set is certainly well worth it.
