True Love Ways

The newly recorded album which features Buddy Holly's utterly distinctive original vocals and guitar playing set to exquisite arrangements performed by the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra is the poignant realisation of a dream Holly first explored just four months before his tragic death in a plane crash at the age of 22. In that last recording session, at the Decca Studios in New York, the star was joined by an 18 piece orchestra, fronted by Dick Jacobs, the man bringing strings to rock and roll. They recorded four tracks: 'True love Ways', 'Raining in My Heart', 'Moondreams' and 'It Doesn't Matter Anymore' all of which are soaked in strings, clearly demonstrating a new direction for Buddy. These 4 song along with 8 classics have been re-recorded with the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra.
