Rave On Buddy Holly the tribute album is finally getting released. If you've been here before you will know I'm a lifetime Buddy Holly fan. He and Elvis were my two youthful heroes. In fact his was the first concert I ever went to.
So I've been looking forward with anticipation and some trepidation. The trepidation because Paul McCartney and Kid Rock are included. But I'm loving the Florence and the Machine track.
I just love the New Orleans feel Florence and co add to this track. Really a different spin, not playing by rote. Awesome!
Not Fade Away - Florence and The Machine
