Negative Positive
Title: Great subject and solid Documentary
Review: Buddy Holly gets a nice treatment by Paul McCartney here. The story is told from the perspective of those who were his musical peers and those a little younger who would be influenced by his amazing talent. I love the technical stuff about how he strummed and the way they worked different drum techniques into the recordings. The best part may have been the few seconds of Keith Richards or the Everly Brothers though. To hear how sincere they are in their love of the guy was great. As Richards says, he was the first guy to do it all; write his own songs and perform the songs as a self contained unit. There are many things that Buddy Holly did FIRST in the world of rock and roll but that might be his most lasting. This is a great DVD for a big fan but a casual one may not be as crazy for this as I was.
