1001 Albums Journey - 8. The Crickets - The Chirping Crickets
play

05/17/23 • 21 min

For Episode 8, we look at The Crickets and their 1957 album, The Chirping Crickets. It was their only album to feature singer-songwriter Buddy Holly before his tragic death in a plane crash at the age of 22. This is an early 1950s classic rock n roll album that helped inspire other musicians and bands that you will be familiar with. Not only that, you'll be able to hear their influence in early English bands like The Beatles and The Rolling Stones. The Crickets were one of the first bands to feature four-piece instruments; guitar, rhythm guitar, bass, and drums, that have become synonymous with modern rock bands. The Crickets consisted of Buddy Holly on lead guitar and vocals, Nikki Sullivan on rhythm guitar, Jerry Allison on drums, and Joe B. Mauldin on bass.

Episode 5 has us look at Fats Domino and his 1956 album, This is Fats! Fats Domino is cited as a pioneer of rock n roll music, a man that influenced Elvis Presley, The Beatles, and many more. This album is full of catchy songs, and one or two, in particular, will have you returning to replay them once they get stuck in your head. Apologies for that in advance.

1001 Albums Journey - 4. Louis Prima - The Wildest!
play

04/13/23 • 19 min

In episode four of the 1001 Albums Journey, we look at Louis Prima and his 1956 album, The Wildest! It is a fun album, full of songs that make you want to jump, jive, or wail in excitement. It's cheeky, funny and jazzy, and this album is worthy of your time, but listen to this episode for more information about this worthwhile album that, in my opinion, (spoiler) deserves its place in the 1001 albums to hear before you die book.
