This fun collection features 19 Buddy Holly's classics songs interpreted by an impressive variety of artists, including Paul McCartney, Kid Rock, Graham Nash, Lou Reed, the Black Keys, Cee Lo Green and others. Rave On Buddy Holly does more than just throw big names against the wall over the course of a generous 19 tracks. It also adds up to an impressively diverse collection of takes on the innocence of another era. Buddy Holly, who was only 22 when he died in a 1959 plane crash, churned out a formidable collection of pop/rock classics in just a few years, and his catalog offers many unforgettable odes to wide-eyed, open-hearted youth.
