About this album

The Buddy Holly Story is a landmark compilation that distils Buddy Holly’s short but transformative career into one essential collection. Issued in 1959, it gathers the songs that helped define rock and roll’s melodic, self-contained songwriting style, from “That’ll Be the Day” and “Peggy Sue” to “Everyday” and “Rave On”. Holly’s work with the Crickets fused rockabilly energy with pop clarity, making his records as influential on later songwriters as they were successful at the time. Released only months after his death, the compilation helped cement his reputation as one of rock’s foundational figures.

Genre: Pop & Rock
