Thoughts

It makes me laugh a little that this is an album listed as Rock, a genre that covers such a wide variety of music it’s incredible. This is old school rock: soft, gentle, playful, swinging. It’s dated but also legendary. Although aware of the day the music died, I don’t know that I’d really thought about it too much before but having listened to this album, I’m starting to get a sense of how much talent really was lost that day. It seems such a shame that Holly only had time for two solo albums.

Rating: 3 / 5
