The album cover above was the Buddy Holly compilation I listened to more than 8 million times, and was the first CD I ever owned. The artwork still freaks me out.

Tribute albums for me are generally hit or miss, but the lineup here is pretty interesting and I’m certain there will be at least a few innovative arrangements. There are no samples at the moment, but 6/28 is not far away.
