Amazon.com The world can never have enough Buddy Holly songs. And as Holly hasn't been around since 1959, the music of Big Sandy and His Fly-Rite Boys performs a public service, as Big Sandy not only channels the pure sincerity of Holly's tenor and the sweet innocence of that musical era, but writes songs such as "Love That Man" and "The Ones You Say You Love" that sound as fresh now as Holly's forever will. Yet Big Sandy and the Boys don't confine themselves to a single genre (neither, for that matter, did Holly and the Crickets), as the roadhouse twang of "The Great State of Misery," the horn-laden, Stax/Volt R&B of "Slipping Away," and the Western swing of "Yes (I Feel Sorry for You)" all combine for the platter party conjured by "The Power of the 45," which opens and closes the album. "Drop the needle in the groove and start to move," the song implores, and it's hard to resist the invitation. --Don McLeese Similarly Requested CDs

CD ReviewsTurntable Magic Darryl R. Delott | Greenville, SC | 07/26/2006 (4 out of 5 stars) "So, all right it's a c-d, but "Turntable Matinee" reminds those of us old enough to remember what it was like to set the needle in the groove and hear something special and not bat an eye at an occasional crackle or pop. This album is fantastic. Most are comparing it to Buddy Holly & the Crickets. There's some truth to that, but I'm hearing some Nick Lowe & Rockpile in there too. This album has a great "live" feel to it. I'm already looking to see what club they'll be coming to in my area." A sure fire solid sender... Jack Dempsey | South Miami Beach, Florida | 01/23/2007 (5 out of 5 stars) "Having known Robert (Robert Williams, aka Big Sandy) for seemingly decades now, following and supporting them on tours since his days with the Fly Rite TRIO and back in the day when even Will B. and the legendary, untouchable T.K. Smith was playing guitar....it's good to see the boys still doing what they have always done. Sure there have been some personnel changes along the way, but Big Sandy has always been the pinnacle of this music, only rivaled by such cats as Dave and Deke when they were still together (Deke has gone on solo now - Dave too, but to a lesser extent), or possibly the Lucky Stars and the Horton Brothers. Still, Big Sandy and gang keep on keepin' on. This latest is no exception. If you know this scene, then I really need to explain it or describe much further. But it is amazing, as usual. Get this latest one as soon as you can, and you won't regret it. Sounds of Speedy West, Jimmy Bryant, Bob Wills and such will come flooding from your hi-fi with a "modern" touch. You can't go wrong. " Great Album Robert J. Paulsen | Austin, TX | 01/10/2007 (5 out of 5 stars) "This is a real fun album to listen to. It's up-beat and catchy."
