  • The Crickets played at the Iowa Straw poll last month (for Sen. Rick Santorum)-I checked out a few minutes. They (including Sonny) sounded tired (this was 11:30AM)-it was sad to witness.

  • Seeing Sonny play and sing in such a laid- bare fashion, makes you realise how great he really is. These guys came from an era of self-discovery that will never be repeated.

  • @DOGPOUNDBREW , Sorry, brother, but if I can see what a fabulous guitarist Sonny is, maybe you can. Open your mind and ears and you might learn something. I know you'll be all pissed when you read this, but get over it. As for Sonny not being able to sing, it's all about communicating and in this song he tells it right to your heart.

  • Thought was good to see this and man did he age

  • @safeway56 Blanked you??......

  • @DOGPOUNDBREW Buddy was a genuine man & I'm afraid he'd disagree with your opinion, & that son is all it is. an opinion. Buddy wouldn't put his friend down like you just did critiquing his friend. I would say shame on you but, that would be unsporting of me. so good day to you sir.greetings from NY baby.

  • Sonny Curtis is one of the sweetest , most genuine men it's been my pleasure to meet / Besides this song he has written many classics like "I Fought The Law "."Walk Right Back ", "The Straight Life ""More Than I Can Say " and "I'm No Stranger To The Rain ". A huge talent ,he never really has got the recognition he deserves. Waylon Jenning summed it up when he said that all he ever wanted to be was Sonny Curtis.!

  • @DOGPOUNDBREW bulshit he is great cant you see ? but this is no longer rock'n'roll but country, still great music

  • when buddy died,,,, so did the crickets ....this dude cant sing and and with out buddy they went no where,, thays the fact ,,jack...

  • These guys had covers of Beatle muxic in 1960s or 1970s, as I once owned their album. It's rough when your front man dies whether you're a Cricket who played at the Apollo Theatre accidentally or The Doors.
