The most interesting thing that struck me on reading the entry in the book (other than the fact that the album is well under half an hour) is that this is the only LP to feature Buddy Holly that was released during his lifetime. I wasn't that familiar with his death aside from the fact that he died in a plane crash, but I'd always assumed that it was at the end of a very long run in the music industry.
As is often the case with albums in the 50s and early 60s, there's not a lot of diversity across the album, but the Crickets really keep it fresh between doowoppy ballads and upbeat rockabilly so that it never really feels stale.
Love the backing vocals from the Crickets
