Break Down of Kiln House

[Moz]

Here's my thoughts on Kiln House..

Simply Fantastic! - Jewel Eyed Judy One of my favourite FM songs!
Great - Station Man, Earl Gray
Good - Tell Me All The Things You Do, Hi Ho Silver, One Together, Mission Bell
Okay - This is The Rock, Blood on the Floor, Buddy's Song

Kiln House has some of my favourite Danny tracks and my some of my least-favourite Jeremy tracks. I've found that my favourite JS songs were recorded with Peter - i.e. Shake Your Moneymaker - that's a riot and a half!

You're not too big on rockabilly, are you? How about straight Buddy Holly?

Of course Mission Bell could have been covered by the Everly Brothers, so that doesn't really count.

Nah, haven't really been into rockabilly or Buddy Holly - but then again, I haven't heard much. When I was younger I didn't like the blues and now I do! My musical tastes are a-changin'..

Wow, it's weird that I started this thread over four years ago and now that its been brought back up to the top I finally own it. Here's my thoughts on Kiln House:

Best of the Great: Tell Me All The Things You Do

Great: Station Man, Jeweled Eyed Judy

Very Good: Hi Ho Silver

Good: One Together, This is the Rock

OK: Earl Grey, Buddys Song

Bad: Blood on the Floor, Mission Bell

Get to it man. No time better than the present. If you don't Holly, you don't like rock n roll.

I'm always floored at how far my musical tastes have evolved over time. Things I used to boo hoo I now find not so horrific, in fact, not so bad at all. Even certain tracks I used to think of as "filler" or "fluff" on many albums I've come to see in a different light, especially as time goes on. Not all mind you, but still more than I would have expected. Not sure if it is "burnout" from overplay of the age-old favorites, or just revisiting at a later place and time when my musical tastes have matured more. Some things I used to dismiss almost curtly I now "get," all these years later.

Good to see the OP bringing up the rear. How was your sleep during all those years?

Oh my gosh, too many to name. Any BEST OF or GH compilation should do. From The Original Masters (MCA, 1985), The Very Best Of Buddy Holly (MCA, 2004), or perhaps The Buddy Holly Collection (MCA, 1993). Any of those would be a great starter set, but of course there are other GH packages to be had beyond that.

Buddy is where it all began! (ok, along with Elvis, Lewis, Berry, Perkins, Haley, Orbison and the Everly Brothers). Never forget the trailblazers!

WOW! That's the truest statement you've ever posted. Buddy Holly took Sun record Elvis and made it better. The Crickets are the first modern rock band IMHO.

At the age of nine, I had a 2 LP MCA collection of Buddy Holly songs. I was hooked for life. I now have a 2CD collection of many of the great songs, but I'm a little miffed that it doesn't have the GREAT song "Dearest" that's featured on the "Juno" soundtrack. It's only available as an import.


BTW, I'm still waiting for your Grateful Dead response to my post on another thread .

Ah, it feels good to find "new" songs (hey, I'm seventeen, any music pre-1960 is new to me)! Thanks for the recommendations.

What? What does THAT supposed to mean!

It could be argued Bill Haley's band was the first true group, and Elvis the first true rocker (with Jerry Lee Lewis and Chuck Berry right on their heels), but I would say Buddy Holly was the foremost to capture the purest form of what we still readily identify today as "rock n roll". All of the above, along with Carl Perkins, had a distinct hand in the making of the genre, let's make no bones about that. There was also Little Richard parenthetically, but he was more R&B based. But from my vantage point, Holly was the purest.

Great song. It's true, once you sample a good BH collection, you'll immediately know where so much of what we take for granted and groove to began, in better depth than ANY of the above mentioned artists. Call him the truest of the true! To think, all of his stuff was written and recorded within roughly a 3 year period! DAYUM

There's a reason Don McLean lamented Holly's death with his immortal American Pie.

Good to see you're so into Holly slipkid, and that you started so young. There's hope for you yet!

Alright, alright. I'll have to go revisit that thread. Now where is it?

Yes, that song is one of my favourites of his, if not THE fave for me, as simple as it is. I bought it as a single while in art college in 1964 when it was titled 'Umm Yeah" and I wore it out. It had overdubs by Jimmy Gilmer's Fireballs, but nothing beats the acoustic version heard in 'Juno'. Beautiful; as are a lot of those he recorded in his NY apt just before he passed on.
