Information..........: The Crickets & Their Buddies is an incredibly
intriguing album, both because it features the original members of a
storied group that has been around for fifty years (J.L. Allison,
Sonny Curtis and Joe B. Maudlin were all original Crickets, along with
Buddy Holly, of course) playing on their classic songs (some of which
are post-Buddy), and because of the eclectic range of artists --
from Bobby Vee to Moetley Cruee's Vince Neil -- who sit in on guest
vocals. Most of it works surprisingly well, although Neil's
version of "I Fought the Law," written by Sonny Curtis, sounds
more cartoonish than defiant, and Eric Clapton's rendition of a
post-Buddy song, "Someone Someone," seems a bit tentative. Among
the cuts that do work here are the version of "Rave On" sung by
Phil Everly and his son, Jason Everly, and Waylon Jennings' blue
collar take on "Well...Alright" (this was the last studio
recording Jennings did before his death, meaning he began and
ended his career with the Crickets). A clear highlight is "The
Real Buddy Holly Story," written and sung by Sonny Curtis, which
attempts to set the record straight on Holly's career, which was
severely distorted in the biopic that starred Gary Busey. Less we
forget, Holly and the Crickets started as a kick-ass country band,
fiddles and all, and while Holly was clearly a genius songwriter,
Curtis was no slouch, either. Also featuring songs sung by Rodney
Crowell, Nanci Griffith, Graham Nash , Johnny Rivers and John
Prine, The Crickets & Their Buddies is made up of way more hits
than misses.
