Buddy Holly, born as Charles Hardin Holley, was one of the most influential singer-songwriters of 1950s. His records conveyed a sense of ‘joie de vivre’ and carried South-Western intonations. Although he became popular only a short while before his death, his music had already left an indelible impression in rock and roll music, which was the most popular genre at the time. He was well-versed in a number of musical styles and was a seasoned performer by the time of his death. Holly was a continuous innovator, who wrote his own music and was among the first to use unconventional studio methods such as ‘double-tracking’. In his final months, he also began experimenting with orchestration. His wide set of songs includes standards of rock and roll including ‘That’ll Be the Day’, ‘Peggy Sue’ and ‘Maybe Baby’. Music apart, he was known for his signature horn-rimmed glasses and verbal hiccup. He deeply influenced ‘The Beatles’ and ‘Hollies’. Even the Rolling Stones had their first main hit with Holly’s ‘Not Fade Away’. It is believed that he was the largest and one of the first influences on contemporary musicians including Bob Dylan, Eric Clapton, Elvis Costello and Steve Winwood. ---thefamouspeople.com

The tendency of most critics is to dismiss this album, comprised as it is of the songs from Holly's 1956 Nashville sessions, which yielded a somewhat too tentative, country-oriented sound that suited neither him nor the public. In actual fact, at least ten of the 11 songs on this LP (the one exception being the ballad "Girl on My Mind") have aged almost as well as anything that Holly ever recorded. "Rock Around With Ollie Vee," "Blue Days, Black Nights," "Ting-A-Ling," "I'm Changing All Those Changes," "Modern Don Juan," "Love Me," "Don't Come Back Knockin'," and "Midnight Shift" are all decent, solid early rock & roll; he sounds too countrified by about half on much of the record, especially on the early version of "That'll Be the Day," but these were not bad records, even if they weren't going to break his talent out to a mass audience. What's more, at least at the time of his first sessions in January of 1956, few white artists and even fewer producers at major labels had yet figured out what mix of country, R&B, and blues worked on a rock & roll record. Given all of this, this is a better than decent album with one real gem ("Rock Around With Ollie Vee"), and if not for the fact that they mostly feature a completely different lineup of musicians and were also contractually separate from the rest of his eventual output for Coral/Brunswick/Decca, roughly half of the songs here could have been filtered into either of Holly's later official LPs without doing any violence to the newer material. Even the ballad "You Are My One Desire" -- though it doesn't really resemble much else that Holly ever did -- is given a hauntingly passionate performance. That'll Be the Day isn't a revelatory piece of rock & roll history, but it's a more substantial and enjoyable prelude to the main body of Holly's career than it's usually given credit for being, extending his serious legacy backward a full album. [In 1967, Decca Records reissued That'll Be the Day as The Great Buddy Holly, with a new cover and stripping off the song "Ting-A-Ling." In 1975, British MCA gathered together the 11 songs off of this album and an alternate take of "Rock Around With Ollie Vee" from a different session and released it as The Nashville Sessions.] ---Bruce Eder, AllMusic Review

When Buddy Holly first emerged on the national stage in 1957 there was no shortage of white guys ripping off Little Richard and Chuck Berry, anesthetizing rock & roll for a white audience. Holly himself was certainly inspired by and borrowed liberally from black artists. Nonetheless, what made Buddy Holly so appealing - and arguably the man most responsible for making rock & roll palatable to middle America - was that underneath his wholesome image, and despite the delicacy of his later compositions, his songs ultimately embrace the grittiness and simplicity that made this music so appealing in the first place. He is the most important white songwriter of rock & roll's formative period. ---rateyourmusic.com
