Average Rating:
 Rating:  - Buddy Holly ReimaginedPaul McCartney purchased the Buddy Holly publishing catalogue in 1974. For some reason, he didn't decide to do a tribute album himself, but instead had given Denny Laine the task of taking on the rock 'n' roll trailblazer from Lubbock, TX. He makes the songs his own. You don't even have to be a fan of the originals. Originally released 1977 by MPL/EMI. The easiest Laine album to find. Rating:  - Would Have Been a Five If It Weren't for the Drum MachineI have this on its original vinyl release from 1976. The back cover describes it better than I can. It says, in part: "In the highlands of Scotland there's a wood-lined, tin-roofed shack known as Rude Studio. Here Denny Laine and Paul McCartney got together to record some Buddy Holly songs. On the four track recorder Paul laid down the basic tracvks, overdubbing each instrument himself. Denny and Linda added a few licks and all three joined in on the vocals." That's a quote, my Wingnut compatriots, and I find it accurate. All I can add is that this is a really likeable album, especially if you know your Buddy Holly. Laine's vocals are styled on Holly's here and it works. Buddy Holly's songwriting (and that of those who wrote ... Read More: Rating: - A Lost Wings AlbumAt various points in the '70s, Paul McCartney's band Wings was nothing more than a trio. Because of the frequently shifting line-up of musicians, some of Wings music was basically McCartney solo (overdubbing drums, bass, guitars, keys) with a little help here and there from faithful guitarist Denny Laine. Of course, Linda pitched in with harmonies and simple keyboard bits. "Band on the Run" was made entirely this way in 1973. This is another of those albums. It's a short collection of Buddy Holly covers; 10 tracks making up just over a half hour of music. Two of the tracks are instrumentals. The other 8 feature Denny Laine on lead vocals, with Paul and Linda pitching in on backing vocals. It's worth having for dyed-in-the ... Read More: Rating: - Give It Time It's Sure To Grow On YouA lighthearted effort by Denny Laine and Paul McCartney, recorded almost entirely by the two, at Paul's home studio at Mull Of Kintyre, Holly Days is a warm and laid back tribute to the late great rocker from Lubbock Texas, Buddy Holly. Don't expect too much and you shouldn't be disapointed and even if you are, give it time it's sure to grow on you. Rating: - Denny Laine & Paul McCartney 's Love Of Holly Comes ThroughDenny Laine, with help and strong direction by Paul McCartney, has captured the best covers of Buddy Holly's music to date. Each song tries to stay close to the original with out simply making a carbon copy. Simple arrangements, augmented with basic instruments, make for a rocking interpretation of the classic sound of Buddy Holly. This is a must for anyone who loves & appreciates Mr. Holly and his music. |
