The Fireballs were part of producer
Norman Petty's stable of talent, coming to prominence in the wake of
Buddy Holly's untimely demise. Clean, crisp and spare, with a delightful Texas-Southwest flavor to their music,
The Fireballs provided the only real competition to
The Ventures in the early '60s. Combining two of the group's early albums onto one single disc (24 tracks in all), this provides a wonderful introduction to this largely unheralded instrumental group. (British import) ~ Cub Koda
