"THE CRICKETS SOUND" Project
A Buddy Holly & The Crickets Online Resource Hub
Roderick Jordan
Roddy Jordan is widely recognized as Australia's leading Buddy Holly expert and historian. He is a well-known author who specializes in documenting the life, music, and legacy of Buddy Holly and The Crickets, particularly their famous 1958 tour of Australia.
I started researching Buddy Holly and The Crickets after I first heard ‘Peggy Sue’ back in November 1957 on Radio Station 2NZ from Inverell. From that time, I kept everything I ever found on when The Crickets toured Australia back in January/February 1958.
This culminated in three editions of my book on the Australian tour in 2008, 2010 and 2015.
The second edition a hardback copy with a dust jacket consisting of 455 pages. It was called ‘Buddy Holly And The Crickets - Musical History in Australia'.
The book covered the whole tour, unseen photos, chart lists and interviews all from people who were there, Including Cricket members Jerry Allison and Joe B. Mauldin.
Although the book is now out of print you can buy it on Kindle.
