I would argue that this is possibly the greatest rock and roll song ever. It's a damned good measuring stick for how good your band is. For instance, these guys nailed it.
the best ollie Vee cover on You tube to date...why? they are playing it fast as shit like Jerry and Joe B did and the singer has the correct normal cadence and relaxed feel Buddy had. Plus they gave it just a slight bit of modern day feel to kick it in the ass. After all Buddy was way ahead of his time. Good playing by all 3 guys here..
I am a 40 pro player, drums , bass , guitar and pedal steel. I have worked clubs , casinos and major venues. You guys are great ! I have a 63 Gretch Nashville 6120 that I have used for decades . You cant beat it for Rock a billy . Love the dog house bass !!! Great Job ! I bought my Gretch when the stray cats came out .
a good cover's got to have a good feel for the original, it's got to have good rhythm, a good connection w/ the original .... & just enough of an original 'touch' to make it as good. these folks have succeeded far above & beyond. any time you want to hear the cover, even though the original was available, you have succeeded ...... congratulations!
Absolutely amazing guys. Now this is what you call ROCK & ROLL! That’s what I’m talking about!. You guys killed it. Excellent cover. Best one I’ve seen in like, ever.
The music lives. It was born, and seed's were cast all over the world. It can never die. We got Britain rockin', American rock music made The Beatles want to change their name to "The Beatle's", before they were the Beatle's. Respect for Buddy Holly, is what named the Beatle's. Chuck Berry, Elvis, and the rock and roll specialist's, Buddy Holly, and the Cricket's. It's eternal, and lives through guy's living it!
jim very hot buddy holly and crickets . best ever ollie vee. playln this on my sunday night oldies radio show feb 2 nd 2019 7 pm 1350wnlk.com . man your drummer got ji allison down . keep buddy alive ! your s truly downtown bobby brown .

too many ha ha
Incredible!!!
Damn right
So glad to see this comment. It is the heartbeat of late 50s R +.R
I always think of Gary Busey’s rendition at the roller rink. “Ollie Vie”, I don’t think we better” “Aye” “a 1 a 2 a 3”
That was a brilliant cameo, one of my favs too !
'This is for all you bee-boppers' LOL
This is one of the best Rockabillies I've ever heard.

Appreciate that rich double bass presence, a great cover
Usually don't rate covers highly, but this seems natural and not copied. Great job. love the sudden ending.
Best RnR song ever, and this, in my not so humble opinion, is the best version.
All the best from the UK
