Various artists from all corners of the music scene contribute their talents to this new release, performing songs associated with Buddy Holly. Lou Reed offers a new look at Peggy Sue; Paul McCartney shows us Its So Easy"; Florence & The Machine puts a New Orleans vibe to Not Fade Away; Julian Casablancas covers the title track Rave On, Kid Rock tells us Well All Right and Graham Nash does Raining In My Heart. 19 in all, from a diverse group of artists.

Music supervisor Randall Poster wraps it up for us: "As the tracks from various contributors were gathered for the album, we seemed to be gathering pieces of a complex and original puzzle that traces back to the roots of rock and roll and shapes so much of the music that followed." This was one of Parade Magazines Parade Picks.
