The best one volume Holly collection.......2004-04-18
Most casual rock fans can name only a few Holly tunes: "That'll Be the Day" and "Peggy Sue," but there is so much more than that. This collection includes two of his most haunting, beautiful ballads, "True Love Ways" and "Raining in My Heart." Listen to the innovative string arrangements on these tunes and you'll plainly know why Paul McCartney (who owns the Holly musical catalogue), adopted these arrangements ten years later as a Beatle. In addition, this CD includes the musicians and Buddy counting down as an intro to these two songs. It's sad to realize that just months later, he would be dead.
Perhaps the best song on the album is the amazing It Doesn't Matter Anymore, about a love gone wrong. Again, the string arrangement is years ahead of its time and makes you ponder what might have been had Holly's life not ended so tragically and prematurely. He was a genuine innovator and talent. This compilation proves that. The sound quality is superb, I can't recommend this CD enough.
Great Collection!.......2004-02-28
Of course there will always be discussions about which songs are the greatest of any artist. I think this one pretty much covers the best of Buddy Holly - with a few exceptions. I don`t understand that "That`s What The Say", "Dearest" and "You"re the One" were left out; personally I would gladly have exchanged these great songs with "Raining in My Heart", "Valley of Tears" and "Shake Rattle and Roll".
The version of "Peggy Sue Got Married"" is not the best I have heard - I prefer the shorter mix without the choir.
But just the same - to be highly recommended.
By the way I think it`s high time that a box-set "Buddy Holly : The Complete Recordings" were released. There is so much great music that needs to be heard. "Gone", "Smokey Joe`s Cafe", "Slipping and Sliding", "Wait Till the Sun Shines Nellie", "Come Back Baby", "It`s Too Late" etc. the list is so long!

Brief life but a lasting legacy.......2003-02-01
On this album, you get all the classics - Heartbeat, That'll be the day, Peggy Sue, Oh boy, Rave on, True love ways, Raining in my heart, Everyday, It's so easy, Listen to me and It doesn't matter anymore among them. Many of these (and others) have been covered frequently down the years, and new versions continue to appear on a regular basis. The Rolling Stones covered Not fade away and it first appeared on one of their early B-sides. In 2002, British jazz singer Claire Martin recorded a magical version of Raining in my heart, perhaps the best cover of a Buddy Holly song I've ever heard - and I've heard a lot.
Besides those classic songs, there are some great covers here, some of which were also hits for Buddy. They include Blue Suede shoes (Carl Perkins), also covered by Elvis, and Brown eyed handsome man (Chuck Berry). With 36 tracks, there is still enough room to include some interesting but seldom-heard songs, such as What to do, Learning the Game, Look at me and Take your time.
