Free Music Review: Lesson in Rock n Roll
Hit: 5 Stars
Don't you love the sound of the 60's. I love the Beatles songs, those 2.5 to 3.5 minutes Rock songs that keep you wanting for more. I think that's where the magic is, hook, line and sinker, you fall for the catchy beat and remain hungry for more. Everyone has their favourite Beatles track and anyone who doesn't like The Beatles are probably not in their right minds anyways. But we all know about them so we won't review them.
I was looking out for more such music. The celebration of youth and love of the 60's and I found it. It existed even before the 60's - Buddy Holly.
From the Wiki:
[...]
Although his success lasted only a year and a half before his death in an airplane crash, Holly is described by critic Bruce Eder as "the single most influential creative force in early rock & roll." His works and innovations were copied by his contemporaries and later musicians, notably The Beatles and The Rolling Stones, and exerted a profound influence on popular music.
Here let us look into:
Buddy Holly - The Original Master Tapes
This is a gem of a collection of 20 best songs of Buddy Holly. There are many wonderful love songs here.
My favourites are:
"Everyday" where the Lover is certain of finding his true love and "It's so easy" (to fall in love) where the sucker is celebrating falling head over heels in love.
Other Rock n Roll numbers include the recognizable "Peggy Sue", the swinging "Rock around with Ollie Vee", the upbeat lover singing about what you been missing in "Oh Boy". Also delightful is "That'll be the Day" where the lover convinces his girl about his love, "Not fade away" swinging upbeat song with the bop bops, "Rave On" reminding me of Elvis no less, the very breezy beachside like "Heartbeat" transporting to the surf and bikinis with its unique strings, and it all ends with the very emotional vocals in "True Love Ways".
This is a collector's item if not an essential lesson in Rock n Roll. It only goes understated what the genius of Buddy Holly could have achieved if he had a longer career though the spirited life burnt in furious glory and still shines.
From the Original Master Tapes Poster
Though he was only 22 when he died in 1959, and had a recording career that lasted but three years, Buddy Holly remains one of the most influential figures in rock & roll history. A great stylist as well as ingenious synthesist, Holly forged a sound that combined elements of R&B, country, and pop, but was distinctly his own. To wit: such eternal classics as "That'll Be the Day," "Not Fade Away," "Peggy Sue," "Words of Love," "It's So Easy," "Heartbeat," and "Well...All Right"--all included in this 20-song package. At the time of his tragic death, he was moving in still new directions, hinted here by "Reminiscing" (with King Curtis on sax) and the string-aided "True Love Ways." --Billy AltmanPop Music CDs
