This'll Be The Day: Buddy Holly's Life and Crickets' Legacy

By Maury Dean; Introduction by Crickets' Singer Jerry Naylor

This'll Be The Day:Buddy Holly's Life and Cricket Legacy, this 2nd edition, expands Buddy Holly's (1936-59, plane crash) musical spirit into the present and beyond. Tapping into the sonic heritage of his Crickets (Rock Hall of Fame 2012), Buddy's life reflects his sensational impact upon helping to create the Beatles, and supercharge all of modern rock music with his dynamic Texan energy. Buddy's Crickets' lead singer Jerry Naylor (from 1960-65) writes the new Introduction, and also energizes this tremendous continuous Crickets story for readers of all ages and generations who love rock music. This new edition shifts optimistically from Don McLean's sad-story "American Pie" lament of Buddy's 'day the music died' into 'the day the music rocked on!'
