The Very Best of

Release Date: 2018

Buddy Holly's The Very Best of (2018) collects twenty essential rock and roll tracks recorded between 1956-1960, pressed on 180-gram vinyl. Holly's distinctive hiccupping vocals and jangly Stratocaster guitar work shine through classics that helped define early rock and roll's melodic possibilities.

Standout Tracks

• That'll Be The Day: The infectious hit that launched Holly into stardom with its driving beat and memorable hook
• Peggy Sue: Holly's vocal hiccups and galloping drums create one of rock's most recognizable early anthems
• Not Fade Away: The hypnotic Bo Diddley beat anchors Holly's most covered composition

Mood: upbeat, nostalgic, driving, melodic
