About this album

That'll Be The Day is a vital early Buddy Holly set, capturing the raw, economical sound that helped define rock and roll. Issued in 1958, the album gathers his breakout Decca-era recordings, with Holly’s hiccuping vocal phrasing, ringing guitar and lean arrangements already sounding unmistakably modern. Songs such as the title track, “Peggy Sue” era favourites and other early signatures show how he bridged country, rockabilly and pop with unusual melodic clarity. Though Holly’s career was brief, these recordings became hugely influential, helping shape the template for self-contained rock bands and inspiring generations of British Invasion and garage rock artists.
