Given the fact that most early rock & roll LPs were usually just two hits and 10 tracks of hastily recorded filler, the sheer quality of the Crickets' full-length 1957 debut is pretty astounding. Then again, Buddy Holly managed to cram an incredible amount of wonderful music into his tragically short career, and some of his finest moments are included herein. "Oh Boy!," "Not Fade Away," "Maybe Baby," and "Tell Me How" all attest to Holly's brilliance as a singer and guitarist, while "That'll Be the Day" and "I'm Lookin' for Someone to Love" show that he was no slouch as a songwriter either. Though they're not quite up to those (admittedly high) standards, "Send Me Some Lovin'" and "Rock Me My Baby" are fairly nifty as well. --Dan Epstein
