In celebration of Buddy Holly’s 75th birthday, Verve and Forecast Records have released the tribute album Listen To Me: Buddy Holly. The 16-track compilation will feature such storied artists as Stevie Nicks, Patrick Stump, Lyle Lovett, Jackson Browne, The Fray, and Ringo Starr, among others.

“Buddy did everything he could to make sure that talented young musicians and songwriters got a real chance,” explained his wife, Maria Elena Holly. “He even started his own label to make this possible.”

Produced by Grammy Award-winning producer Peter Asher, his personal connection to the late Holly helped craft the covers to take on a modern sound while keeping the original simplicity of Holly’s hits.

“Buddy showed us how brilliant and unforgettable songs could be written using the simplest of chords,” Asher said. “He taught us the value of a lyric which came from the heart and the importance of making records the way you heard them in your head.”
