Album 8. The "Chirping" Crickets - The Crickets

One of the great rock 'n' roll debuts, the Crickets influence can be heard throught the early 60's as they provided the blueprint for "beat combos" on both sides of the atlantic.

No one knows for sure what would've happened if Buddy Holly hadn't taken that plane, but judging from the work he and the rest of The Crickets did before that faithful night it would have been good.

The Crickets did continue after the loss of Holly but never really reached the heights of the early work they did.
