SEATTLE, WA (www.96decibels.com) - The Crickets—J.I.
Allison (drums), Joe B. Mauldin (bass) and
Sonny Curtis (guitar)— helped define the sound of modern music and sold millions of records with hits like 'That'll Be the Day,' 'Oh Boy' and 'Peggy Sue.'
They have been cited as direct influences by the Beatles, the Hollies,
Bob Dylan and numerous other rock, country, and rockabilly musicians. Their songs are among the most popular and most recognizable of the modern era.
Today, in 2004, the Crickets, joined by a number of their buddies including Eric Clapton, Rodney Crowell, Waylon Jennings, Graham Nash, John Prine, Albert Lee, and Nanci Griffith are releasing a new album entitled 'The Crickets and Their Buddies' Tracks from this studio album are currently available for download at https://www.96decibels.com
