Of all the singers and musicians who sadly died young and unfulflled, the loss of Buddy Holly, in February 1959, was perhaps the most shocking

But he packed a lot into his tragically brief life, and during 1957 and 58 he and his fellow Crickets spent an enormous amount of time in Norman Petty's studio in Clovis, New Mexico.When he wasn't working on his own songs, demos and sessions, Holly often played guitar or sang back- up vocals for artists like Gary Tollett, Billy Walker, Jack Huddle, Sherry Davis, Carolyn Hester, Charlie Phillips, Buddy Knox, Waylon Jennings, and more.

This compilation presents thirty-four such sides, most of which were recorded in Clovis, on which he "guested", usually as a guitarist.The jury is out on whether Buddy defnitely played on a couple of these, but as they've long been included in discographies, it would be remiss to omit them.
