The Chirping Crickets

Their journey began with them forming in Lubbock, Texas in 1957, and following a recommendation, they were introduced to Norman Petty. Petty owned a small independent recording studio in Clovis, New Mexico. And after some musical nurturing they became one of the first rock and roll groups to write, record and perform their own compositions. Their breakthrough hit 'That'll Be the Day' skyrocketed the sparkling young quartet to stardom. 1957 saw it become a transatlantic number 1 for The Crickets. Then came further hits in 'Oh Boy!' and 'Maybe Baby'. This led to the release of their first album 'The Chirping Crickets' which was both co-written and produced by Petty, his writing contributions can be found on 'Not Fade Away', 'You've Got Love', 'Tell Me How', 'I'm Lookin' for Someone to Love' and 'Last Night', 'An Empty Cup (and a Broken Date)', which was co-written with Roy Orbison. Also included are 'It's Too Late', 'Send Me Some Lovin'' and 'Rock Me My Baby'.
