Likely best remembered as the Rolling Stones’ first hit
single this song was released in 1964. Composed by Buddy Holly it was
originally recorded by him and The Crickets in 1957. It is characterized by the
distinctive Bo Diddley beat.
The Crickets'
recording never charted – nevertheless in 2004 it was enrolled in position 107
on Rolling Stone's list of The 500 Greatest Songs of All Time.
Covering this tune is part of an all-star
lineup (Doyle Bramall, Jimmy Vaughan, Robert Earl Keen, Joe Ely, Bonnie Riatt,
Gary Clark, Jr., Jeff Bridges, Sheryl Crowe, Lloyd Maines, David Grissom and
Brittany Howard ) celebrating four decades of Austin City Limits.
Crank-up the volume for Not Fade Away…..
