Product: The Music of Buddy Holly and The Crickets: The Definitive Story
Rating: 5.0
A great collector's item
This DVD contains an excellent set of interviews with key figures in the Buddy Holly story. There are one or two obvious omissions in terms of personnel, but with the perennial legal issues surrounding the Buddy Holly legacy, that is not surprising. The stories told by some of the participants are very familiar, but they lose nothing in the re-telling and others add valuable new glosses. To this reader, the most unexpectedly interesting is Charles Bunch, now no longer with us but here describing eloquently what it meant to be asked to play drums behind Buddy Holly. All in all, a welcome addition to any Buddy Holly/Crickets addict's collection. My one criticism is the misleading way Amazon lists the DVD: it is NOT by Jerry Allison - he is simply one of many contributors.The Real Buddy Holly Story
