Rave On Buddy Holly

Rave On Buddy Holly is a tribute album featuring the likes of My Morning Jacket, The Black Keys, Modest Mouse, Nick Lowe, Florence + The Machine, Cee Lo Green, Paul McCartney, She & Him, Justin Townes Earle, Kid Rock, Lou Reed, Patti Smith, Julian Casablancas, and more! Rave On's striking collection of musicians share Holly's insurgent rebel spirit and outsider point of view. The artists cross generations and styles, collectively and defiantly embracing Holly's distinctive rough and tumble inventiveness. Instead of being a straight cover album, artists were "free to explore radically new interpretations." For example, Florence + The Machine brings an "industrial New Orleans" feel to "Not Fade Away" with Ivan Neville playing the keys, while Paul McCartney's rendition of "It's So Easy" features "raw, propulsive excursion filled with boisterous ad-libs." - Paste
