In stark contrast to the Coen brothers' gritty 1995 'Fargo' film drama, Bobby Vee's Rock 'n' Roll exudes the feel of teenage youth in those days.\r\n\r\nNot only was Bobby Vee a genuine teen idol during the early 1960s with a string of lighthearted smashes to his credit, he also knew how to rock, his strong Buddy Holly influence never far from the surface. Vee's entry in Bear Family's 'The Drugstore's Rockin' series, spanning 1959-1962, contains his debut single, Suzie Baby, through his first major hits for Los Angeles-based Liberty Records, Devil Or Angel and Rubber Ball, and the violin-enriched blockbusters Take Good Care Of My Baby and The Night Has A Thousand Eyes. But Bobby refused to abandon his '50s rock and roll roots-witness the five tracks culled from his splendid 'Bobby Vee Meets The Crickets' album with ex-Holly sideman Tommy Allsup on lead guitar.\r\n\r\nNearly everything here was produced by Texas native Snuff Garrett, perhaps the youngest A\u0026amp;R man around then and one of the most successful. Garrett was a huge fan of Holly's mature strings-drenched approach and introduced it to Liberty.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTracklist: \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003col\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTake Good Care Of My Baby\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Radio Spot\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Someday (When I'm Gone From You)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e In My Baby's Eyes\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Little Star\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Devil Or Angel\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e The Night Has A Thousand Eyes\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Punish Her\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Tears On My Pillow\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Suzie Baby\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e School Day\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Walkin' With My Angel\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e I Gotta Know\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Will You Love Me Tomorrow\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Rubber Ball\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e You Better Move On\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Sharing You\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Raining In My Heart\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Diana\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Lookin' For Love\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e More Than I Can Say\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Summertime Blues\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Flyin' High\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Susie-Q\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e When You're In Love\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Run To Him\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Girl Of My Best Friend\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Please Don't Ask About Barbara\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Sixteen Candles\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e What Do You Want\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Stayin' In\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Little Queenie\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e I Can't Say Goodbye\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Pleding My Love\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e One Last Kiss\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ol\u003e","brand":"Alliance Entertainment","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49364824555794,"sku":"5397102175732","price":16.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0831\/4771\/8930\/files\/3900421-2659584.jpg?v=1717105672","url":"https:\/\/surprise-castle.myshopify.com\/products\/bobby-vee-the-drugstores-rockin-suzie-baby-cd","provider":"Surprise Castle","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
