Just Like Buddy Holly

NME's headline reads "Julian Casablancas, Florence Welch and Patti Smith for Buddy Holly tribute album." Pitchfork proclaims "Modest Mouse, My Morning Jacket, Julian Casablancas, Black Keys on Buddy Holly Tribute." Personally, I think it should be "She & Him, Nick Lowe, Jon Brion and Paul McCartney to Cover Buddy Holly." The fact remains, Kid Rock's inclusion not withstanding, Concord Music has assembled an impressive lineup for 'Rave On Buddy Holly,' due to hit the shelves on June 28. One name I'm surprised didn't show up on this record is super-fan Marshall Crenshaw. Along with the tracklist below, enjoy Crenshaw as Holly ripped from my vinyl version of the 'La Bamba' soundtrack. No offense, but this will, no doubt, put a little pressure on Karen Elson.
