hey mac!
okay so i'm usually skeptical of compilation albums - bad memories of much dance '99 i s'pose - but it would seem that some of my favourite purveyors of ye fynest musiks are making a tribute album and it seems swell. the reason being, of course, that the subject material is buddy holly, with his trendy glasses and swing-inducing basslines. the album, adorably titled 'rave on buddy holly', is set to feature the likes of my morning jacket, florence + the machine, and (inexplicably) kid rock, plus the black keys, and my personal favourites, zooey and m. ward, which i've provided to you below. have a listen, get excited, and hey, take a little time to sift through some of the man's original tunes. you might be surprised at what you find your head bobbing along to.
she & him - oh boy (buddy holly cover)
the black keys - (ummm, oh yeah) dearest (buddy holly cover)
