Listen to Me: A Tribute to Buddy Holly was released so shortly after the Rave On Buddy Holly that it got lost in the shuffle of my review folder last year. Even months later, Listen to Me still suffers by comparison to the other Buddy Holly tribute. This is at least in part due to [...]

Tashaki Miyaki - Heartbeat [Buddy Holly] | zs
Dear Béatrice not only made a great second album, she's spoiling the fans with extra tracks and collaborations. Out since today is her version of White Christmas (in French) as a guestvocalist of Michel Legrands Christmas-album . Sweeping! By the way, if you like heavily tattood, husky singing Canadian females, head over to Christmas-a-gogo and pick up a fuzzy seasonal song by Jody Glenham. Furthermore, I discovered that CdP sang a cover of Buddy Holly's Everyday for a Canadian Activia-ad . Downloadable for free via Facebook, but I've made it easier. And finally a [...]
LA-based duo, Tashaki Miyaki, surround Buddy Holly's sweet 'Heartbeat' in a shroud of guitar noise and reverb.

Tashaki Miyaki are giving away their cover of 'Heartbeat' by Buddy Holly as a special treat to anyone that orders the self-titled Tashaki Miyaki EP from www.soundsofsweetnothing.com (which we reviewed today). We definitely suggest you order it, but in the meantime you can give it a listen here:
It's not surprising that modern artists treat the Holly catalogue with deference. He has become a legend. The majority of the contributors to the musical tribute to Buddy Holly, Listen to Me, offer reverent takes on the rock 'n' roll pioneer's tunes. That's kind of ironic, as Holly's music itself was known for its irreverence. Holly added classical flourishes to pop songs during a period when the two genres were seen as total opposites. He poked fun at the drama of teenage romance by highlighting the effervescence of its joys and pains....
Still, the question when listening to an album of classic covers remains, why bother redoing them if they are so good in the first place? Burch and the band offer tasty versions of the songs, but Holly's are better. There are at least two ways in which fans evaluate the production of Buddy Holly's records. Some say it was the genius of producer Norman Petty and Holly together that created such clean and sophisticated pop rock. Others claim Holly innovated in the studio, but the best music he recorded can be found in demos and studio recordings of [...]
