Well . . . All Right

Meanwhile, Buddy Holly was at the height of his powers as a musician, though record sales began to slip as a result:  Holly's final 45 during his lifetime, "Heartbeat" b/w "Well . . . All Right" peaked at #82 on the Billboard singles charts.  Of the "B" side, Bruce Eder notes:  "[Buddy Holly] might even have advanced farther than a big chunk of the group's audience was prepared to accept in late 1958.  'Well . . . All Right', for example, was years ahead of its time as a song and a recording."  "Well All Right" is one of the tracks on the excellent Blind Faith album that was released in 1969.
