Buddy Holly tribute album streaming online
By CMU Editorial | Published on Tuesday 21 June 2011
At the end of the month an album called ‘Rave On’ will be released featuring new takes on classic Buddy Holly songs, and the whole album is currently available to preview via NPR.
Paul McCartney, The Black Keys, Modest Mouse and Julian Casablancas return to their musical roots in reverence to the bespectacled rock ‘n’ roll legend with an assortment of pleasantly surprising covers, while Florence & The Machine and She & Him’s Zooey Deschanel put a modern, feminine twist on enduring Holly hits, instilling new dimensions of warmth and oddball charm in stalwarts like ‘Not Fade Away’ and ‘Oh Boy!’. In short, the album represents that rarest of things, a collection of songs that parents and their kids can both listen to and enjoy, together.
Reconnect with estranged members of your immediate family by giving ‘Rave On Buddy Holly’ a pre-release spin here, via streaming site NPR.
