About this album

This Is Buddy Holly distils the core of Holly’s short but hugely influential recording career into one essential compilation. Drawing from the late-1950s sessions that produced enduring singles such as That’ll Be the Day, Peggy Sue, Oh Boy and Rave On, it shows how he fused rock and roll urgency with melodic precision and a distinctive vocal warmth. Holly’s songwriting, guitar work and clean band arrangements helped define the sound of rockabilly and pointed pop towards the self-contained singer-songwriter era. Because his career was cut short in 1959, collections like this have long served as a compact introduction to one of rock’s most important early innovators.
