Buddy Holly - Baby Let's Play House (LP, 10inch) - Vinyl Rock & Roll

(Rollercoaster) 10 tracks - Ever since his appearance in April with Elvis Presley at Lubbock's Fair Park Coliseum, Buddy Holly's career has been on the up and up. He recently recorded for Decca Rewords in Nashville and those in the know are already predicting a successful career in the Western and Bop field for him. But Buddy wanted his fans in Lubbock to have a keepsake of the recordings he made here prior to his 'discovery' last year by Nashville talent scout Eddie Crandall. So hem they arc ... some favourites from his stage ae, and some of the very songs that brought him to the attention of the Decca company!

Buddy will already be well-known to many Lubbock residents from his appearances on KDAV radio with Bob Montgomery and Jack Neal where they have been performing on the Sund, Party show. KDAV DJ -Hipockets" Duncan says he knew from the start that Buddy had that something special. Buddy has also appeared at the Cotton Club and has toured with many of the top artists in the Country and Wes-tem field including George Jones, Hank Thompson and Faros Young.
The young Mr Holly has his own distinctive style ... he describes Elvis as his inspiration but says he first got interested in having a career in music when he heard the likes of Jimmie Rodgers and Hank Williams on the radio when he was just S years old. He plays a little piano, banjo and mandolin but favours the rriodem instrument - the electric guitar - these days. His parents and brothers and sister encouraged him in his efforts when they heard how easily he picked up and played an instrument at a tender age.

Backing up Buddy on record and stage these days arc some other local boys who enjoy playing the Rock-a-Billy tunes ... they are Jerry Allison on drums, who hails from Hillsboro, Texas - he is now resident in Lubbock. Jerry got his first drums when he joined the Lubbock High School marching band. Soon he was playing evening engagements with Cal Wayne's Ranch Hands. He names Fats Domino's drummer Earl Palmer as one of his heroes. Don Gums is on the big old bass - his hometown is Roswell. New Mexico but he regularly visits the other boys in Lubbock when they spend time writing songs and rehearsing together - Don has a distinctive style - what he calls slap 'n' tickle *kin', Sonny Curtis can often he heard playing electric guitar with the Three Tunes on stage and his ambition is to record in Nashville he is an accomplished song-writer and guitarist and has already made some recordings locally. Sonny often entertains es a solo in local clubs and is currently considering an offer to go on a countrywide tour with a major Country & Western act.

Followers of Elvis the Pelvis may he interested to know the in the picture on the cover of this album, Buddy is playing Elvis's guitar, and the drams and bass appear courtesy of his Blue Moon Boys, DJ Fontana and Bill Black, respectively. As Buddy says, "All of us ... can thank Elvis Presley ... for the importance he has given to our kind of music". True enough Buddy and the boys were Miami to support Elvis at that Fair Park engagement just a few minutes before showtimc, and when Elvis discovered they had no instruments with them he insisted the youngsters used his equipment! We wish the boys well in their endeavours and hope they will renueiber their friends in Lubbock, Tex. and come back and sec us when their records appear alongside Elvis Presley at the top of the best-selling charts. Go, Buddy, Go!
