My personal review and reflection:
This is Buddy Holly and the Crickets without Buddy Holly. And thats the way it sounds! Sonny Curtis and Jerry Allison are doing allright, but you can't help comparing the tracks with Holly's original. Eric i supposed to be on two tracks. On the first one: Rockin'... he has a short solo at the end, but on That'll Be the Day, I can't find him.
