Not so strange that down around wes-Tex ways in Rockin 50s Days Buddy Holly wasn't the only young tenor voice broncin' buck sounding like Buddy Holly, but the many songs that he wrote and his interpretions of others set him far ahead of the Prairie Dawg puppy pack.
I never knew Buddy Holly was only 22 when he died, I thought he closer to 30.....Wow! And he's practically a household name 50 years later! Impressive.
BST - Thanks for your comment. Yes - the "chorus" sound is different ... but I'll bet Buddy would have used it if it'd been around at the time! Note this song has gone over 8,000 in a year. Seems there IS a public ear!
The "Chorused" guitar is a bit yukky, but it sure has that "Buddy" flavour . . .therefore 10/10 i appreciate any band that keeps him in the public eye (ear)!
i've ben on a lot of sad stuff today and i just feel sad and its ben a lot of people dying and one is 9/11 one hour and somthing mins and buddy is gone and it sucks
it's truly a very faithful Buddy Holly tribute, Perhaps how his music would've evolved or sounded well into the 60's and 70's? He would've still sounded great....Rave On!
This song is almost exactly like A FOOL AGAIN by Ray Ruff. The best Buddy soundalike there ever was (and I have a collection of over 200) was Royce Clark. Did a song written by Wayland Jennings ( spelling of his name on the label) and Sky Corbin, a Lubbock friend of Buddy's titled LIKE A MAN. Sounds EXACTLY like Buddy! Label: VEEDA 4011, Amarillo, Texas. Took 20 years to finally win it in a Goldmine auction. He played the DJ in the movie Coal Miner's Daughter, but didn't sing in it. Joe Scibetta
Thanks for your insightful comment. You clearly know your stuff - I'd like to continue the discussion of the "post-Buddy Holly" world (Ray Ruff, Royce Clark, Sky Corbin, etc.). Meanwhile I'll search around Google. All new names to me!
Yes this would be in a right concept as what buddy holly would have produced its his style his lyrics and waysintrested to listen to myself doing covers i have been messing around with future rifts and tunes he may have done very nice to listen to it gave it 5 stars
Absolutely excellence in all ways. Buddy does approve wholeheartedly, but wonders why he didn't write it !!!

Thanks B - Happy to get Buddy's approval. I'm sure he's wondering if there are any bands out there that have put this song into their repertoire!

Yes, I agree, strong Buddy Holly flavor with a touch of Bobby Fuller. I think both would have been happy to record this.

Great Buddy Holly flavor. And he does sound a lot like Buddy (but more like Earl Sinks).

Good song, though. His best song is "True Love Ways". I really like Mickey Gilley's cover of it.

The writers carefully follow some of the typical Buddy Holly cord changes in this song. It sounds like one of his songs.

If I had heard this song without knowing it wasn't Buddy, I would've thought I'd missed something of his I hadn't heard before!
