On this day in the history of music, two events occurred three years apart, both would shape the future of rock in their own ways. The latter which I will mention in passing was that Bob Dylan recorded his first album, “Bob Dylan” in 1961. It could have been easy to pick a track off of this album, but too much Bob in one week may deter some of my regular readers. No, instead, I will pluck for an event that took place three years earlier, in 1958, when a certain Buddy Holly and the Cricket’s recorded their last studio session.
Buddy Holly in the Studio
Recordings that took place fifty-one (51!) years ago were “True Love Ways,” “Moondreams,” “It Doesn’t Matter Anymore,” and “Raining in my Heart. Holly introduced violins into his class of Rock & Roll music, which was considered a very radical approach at the time. It was a huge success which tragically wasn’t allowed to develop further. On “It Doesn’t Matter Anymore” you get the big band feel, the Buddy Holly squeal and a great sing-along melody. There have been countless break-up songs written and performed since this track, but few have bettered what Buddy Holly gave to the world in the infancy of Rock & Roll.
