Heartbeat Radio, a station now available on Shoutcast
features Buddy Holly's music 24/7, Matt Burley, the new station's
program manager, told Vintage Rock 'n' Roll Examiner on Aug. 3. "The
station will feature the complete Buddy Holly catalog, songs by
musicians that influenced Holly, such as Elvis Presley and Little
Richard and rare interviews with Holly and the Crickets," Burley told
us.
He said the station will also include covers of Buddy Holly songs by current musicians that pay tribute to Holly's music today and shows how he still influences the music of today.
Both Ringo Starr and Paul McCartney contributed to a pair of competing Buddy Holly tribute CDs that were released in 2011 to honor what would have been the musician's 75th birthday. Paul McCartney contributed a raucous version of "It's So Easy" for Fantasy Records' "Rave On: Buddy Holly" on Fantasy Records (also available on Amazon.co.uk and Amazon.ca in Canada). Ringo Starr, contributed Holly's "Think It Over" to"Listen To Me: Buddy Holly" (also available on Amazon.co.uk and Amazon.ca in Canada), which was produced by Peter Asher (of Peter & Gordon) and Songmasters for the Verve/Forecast label.
Burley says this is unique. "I am a huge fan of Buddy's music and I have yet to see or hear of a Buddy Holly station," he said.
You can hear the station on Shoutcast internet radio. Burley is also in charge of Fab4Radio.com, which features music and information about the Beatles, including the weekly Beatles news podcast "Things We Said Today," which we co-host with Ken Michaels.
