Buddy Holly -- "Blue Days"
This number, which echoes the same raw sound as Elvis' Sun Studios recordings, may not be the most quintessentially Holly-esque of tracks. It is a great song, though, even if it doesn't quite offer what we're looking for when we turn on Buddy Holly: the nerdy kid with the glasses who somehow managed to be cool in spite of himself, the adventurous popster who seemed to be pushing ahead to the next thing on the horizon. Holly seemed to be propelling himself into the future, his sound more like the early 60s at times than the 50s, but this number proves that he could also do straight-up rockabilly with the best of them.
