Episode 176: Buddy Holly

Every Album Ever w/ Mike Mansour & Alex Volz

This week we’re discussing every album by the one and only Buddy Holly. Holly is truly one of the most influential musicians of all time and was responsible for popularizing rock ‘n’ roll in the late 50s. His tragic death at age 22 immortalized his legacy, but the question is: how well do his actual songs hold up? We’re brutally honest here, no holding back.

Closing track: “Modern Don Juan” from That’ll Be the Day (1958)
