 If you weren't already excited for the upcoming release of the tribute-album 'RAVE ON BUDDY HOLLY' - the official New Zealand release date being June 27th - then I present to you a new reason, in the form of JULIAN CASABLANCAS' recorded contribution for the compilation. "The album is to celebrate what would have been the 75th birthday of Holly, who tragically and infamously died at the completely rock and roll age of 22 way back in 1959, the year music started getting good. Buddy Holly’s music exerted a profound influence on virtually every part of the pop music soundscape. His sparkling hooks, tender lyrics and elegantly concise compositions set the bar for all the rock, country and pop tunesmiths who followed in his brilliant wake."
