Three Stars Tribute: A Tribute to Richie Valens, Buddy Holly, & the Big Bopper double LP
(Gold Label)
The reasons this tribute compendium hand jives in the winner's circle are three in number. 1) Blue-ribbon classics were selected for reinvention. 2) To a man, singers essaying admittedly formidable feats (the task of following kings' examples would cause most to shrink away), do so with remarkable talents of their own. 3) Backing, provided by Jason Guiterrez and the JG 3, all but leaps from speakers with dual-pipe Bel-Air energies.
