Music reviews of Hollybilly: Buddy Holly 1956 - The Complete Recordings

Music Review: The greatest rock star ever
Rating: 5 Stars

Admittedly, this set is for the completist, but Buddy Holly was magnificent both as a musician and a vocalist. Plenty of these come from rare acetates (that's all that exist in many cases) and the complete Owen Bradley sessions are here in great quality (it's a shame Bradley didn't have a clue as what to do with Holly). The real treat is the Clovis demos (Norman Petty's studio truly must have been state-of-the-art) because those tracks, especially "Brown Eyed Handsome Man" really shine on their first ever undubbed debuts (it was overdubbed for a 60s release to "modernize" it...to call that unneccessary is an understatement). The sound quality varies greatly depending on the source material, but with the professional recordings (the Clovis demos and the Bradley sessions) I have never heard them sound better. Something tells me these sets from the El Toro label will be the Holy Grail of Buddy Holly recordings one day.

Description of Hollybilly: Buddy Holly 1956 - The Complete Recordings

Among the very first inductees into the Rock & Roll Hall Of Fame in January 1986, along with Elvis, Jerry Lee, Fats Domino, Chuck Berry, Little Richard and Ray Charles, Buddy Holly has come to be known as one of the foremost performers and innovators of the first wave of rock 'n' rollers in the 1950s, even though his actual recording career lasted less than three years before being cut short by his death in an horrific plane crash. This compilation features the complete 1956 recordings of Buddy Holly - his first as a solo artist - and includes all the surviving masters from his three Nashville sessions for US Decca, together with his first demo sessions cut at Norman Petty's state-of-the-art recording studio in Clovis, New Mexico, and home recordings from Lubbock. In addition to Buddy and his usual cohorts, such as Jerry Allison, Sonny Curtis and Don Guess, the tracks also include the accompaniment of the famed Nashville "A" Team, boasting Floyd Cramer, Harold Bradley and the always superb Grady Martin.
