Big 3’s three-disc set
Buddy Holly & the Rock 'n' Roll Giants devotes two of its discs to
Buddy’s classic recordings and gives the last disc over to
The Rock 'n' Roll Giants -- a collection of sides from the likes of
Fats Domino,
Elvis Presley,
Jerry Lee Lewis,
Gene Vincent,
Little Richard,
Carl Perkins,
Eddie Cochran,
Bill Haley,
Roy Orbison, and
the Everly Brothers that also finds space for
Bobby Charles,
Johnny Burnette,
Big Joe Turner,
Lloyd Price,
the Robins, and
Tommy Scott, among others. Not every song selection here is spot-on, either for
Buddy or for the Giants, but no song is bad and this delivers a lot of bang for its budget-line price.
