Album Review - The Crickets - The Crickets & Their Buddies
Forty-seven years after The Crickets released its groundbreaking and
highly influential debut, the legendary band, which still features
founding members J.J. Allison and bass player Joe B. Mauldin, reconvened
with an all-star cast to update a career-spanning suite of material for
a new set titled The Crickets & Their Buddies. Indeed, everyone -- from
Eric Clapton to John Prine, from J. D. Souther to Nanci Griffith, and
from Waylon Jennings to Bobby Vee -- lent a hand in crafting the
endeavor, which draws from The Crickets work both with and without Buddy
Holly. The end result, however, is more of a tasteful, reverential
tribute to the past than it is a bold, new beginning.
