"True Life Ways" I could see Buddy rolling back toward country/roots music as the music climate changed in the mid sixties.
I don't know what he had to be blue about...11 top 10 tunes between the US and UK by the age of 22. I know the times were different, but that still is a pretty strong showing. "Can't You Hear Me Calling" has a section which talks about Bill's influence on the Rock and Roll crowd. It mentions that Buddy Holly was a big fan of Ed(d) Mayfield and his brothers, who apparently were Texans. That may be the connection there... The book also says that Holly's Hiccup in Peggy Sue was derived from Bluegrass singing. On Mar 4, 8:08 am, mistertaterbug <[email protected]> wrote: > Buddy Holly and the Bluegrass Boys.
