[txcooking]

Happy birthday, Buddy, wherever you are. The music never died.

[46Doug]

this was talent! the rest of the music today SUCKS with a big S.

[davidortiz9113]

im agree with thomas but in those times it was about 6 kings of rock n roll lol, a lot of talent musical, not like this days ;/

[TheThomasmoon]

Buddy Holly was the real king of rock n roll

[JM13121]

Love Buddy's early Rockabilly style...Holly was a genius, innovative, The roots of Rock and Roll....

[DrSpikeSpiegel]

By far the greatest 1950's song about dating a prostitute.

[mikeystrafford]

B R I L L I A N T ! .... nuff said

[RhandirQH]

I have heard that Sonny Curtis was lead on this record. Any way beautiful solo. Thanks for posting

[gamster68]

his best work before he went commercial and mainstream the 56 sessions were pure stripped down raw Rockabilly ,love it.

[WALTERBROADDUS]

hard to believe they got away with a song this dirty back in the day? One of my holly favs.

[rodrigoraulsuarez]

This really sounds like Buddy were singing in front of you. Amazing.

[englishtim61]

cracking version fan bloody tastic

[phillydog17]

My favorite Buddy tune.

[hepkatz1]

classic rockabilly

[raleighgranprix]

He recorded a lot of his stuff at Norman Phillips Studio in Clovis, New Mexico.

Buddy, Lubbock, Roy Orbison, Wink Texas,, Waylon Jennings a Cricket, I read Waylon's autobio, he could have gone on that plane too.

Commander Cody do this song real good too. Singer for CC, Billy C. Farlow looks a bit like Holly and played him in a stage play....

[Shoknifeman]

@raleighgranprix Waylon Jennings was never a Cricket, he was a bass player on the final tour. By that time the Crickets name was passed on to Joe B and JI, while the plan was for Buddy to tour under his own name.

[bluemoonboy1956]

Great pics!!

[RonaldVaughan]

I'm originally from Texas (Houston) so I have a special appreciation for fellow

Texan BUDDY HOLLY....R.I.P......this is an lesser-known song but still great....

[vclubamp]

Buddy wasn't playing lead guitar on this was he?

[Shoknifeman]

@vclubamp Sounds like his style to me

[SenorZorrozzz]

Buddy was so great!

[mickkey7]

Just listened to Los Lobos version. Crap.

[onethumbpicker]

@mickkey7 I agree about the Los Lobo's version, but check out Commander Cody & His Lost Planet Airmen's studio recording of this from the early 1970's. Great stuff, if you haven't heard them before. Until recently, I didn't know Buddy Holly recorded this. I heard the Cody version when it came out some 40 years ago.

[rockabillyotis]

What a gem! Beauty!!!

[fayeroe1009]

Be sure and look at the video of Los Lobos on the Buddy Holly Tribute CD......search for "Los Lobos, Midnight Shift"......come back and tell me what you think.

[mikeystrafford]

absolute rockabilly

brilliant

[10987654321bobo]

universe-shatteringly importance!! -' you might as well take a trip!' if ya don't dig this! - ageing psychobilly U.K.

[RhandirQH]

Thanks for posting that, what a gem. Don't Come Back Knocking and Rock Around With Ollie Vee, three classics. Thanks again.

[ChrisFrenchComedy]

I had never heard this take of this song, but I'll tell you, I think this is better than the take of this song that was actually released. Why didn't they release this take instead?

[phillydog17]

My favorite Buddy song!!

[Rick395395]

buddy holly is the Best example of Rockabilly..i wish they would post "Don't come back knocking'' that's one of my fav. unfortunately i cant find it nowhere in you tube...

[UberPiroxsFriend]

Who else wants to hear this in a heavy Led Zeppelin Somethin Else and Cmon Everybody style cover?

[mooiegarage]

Beautiful idea! I'm sure Plant would agree right away.

[UberPiroxsFriend]

It would be awesome with that driving bass drum work from bonzo at a faster tempo

[LetsTurnBackTheYears]

THE MOST IMPORTANTS ONTO MUSIC WAS THE 50s

[JubalCalif]

This is a GREAT example of rockabilly, one of my favorite musical genres. Asleep at the Wheel did a great version of it back in the 80's on one of their albums. one of history's great tragedies was the early death of Buddy Holly. A true original and one of a kind talent! Thanks for posting this! :)

[diddywahdaddy]

WOW!!

[cheerydavie]

Excellent, thanks for posting.amazing any more?

[slaphappynamwen]

oh annnee ...... Great to hear this different version... thanks.

[kevinherbert]

Amazing feel....

[barberryrider]

Recorded Nashville January 1956, Line-up. Buddy Holly, Vocal. Sony Curtis, Lead Guitar. Grady Martin, Rhythm Guitar. Buddy Harmon, Drums and the Great Don Guess on Bass. This is just one of the many Great Buddy Tracks that never gets played on National Radio here in the UK. Excellent, thanks for posting.

[michandre21]

wow...what a fantastic song!! Then again, it's Buddy singing so it has to be good (:

[psychobollox]

was that Buddy playing a Danelectro on the last pic in the series there?

[guitarandharp]

That's a good guess regarding Buddy's guitar but it's a Harmony Stratotone. I just checked on the CD booklet. Which CD? The one which this track was released on: 'Oh!!! Annie' on Roller Coaster records (U.K.), a great album of Buddy's 1956 tracks - and legal!

Best wishes from the U.K.

[psychobollox]

thanks for that!

not earth-shatteringly important but very nice and interesting stuff for a fan to know :)

[guitarandharp]

You're more than welcome. Get the CD, that's my advice!

Regards

[maddieburgers]
