The story behind

The Crickets recorded “Oh Boy!” in 1957, at the Clovis studios, New Mexico. The song was on side A of a single with “Not Fade Away”, and was the first track of their album The "Chirping" Crickets. The structure is A-A-B-A, with a 12-bar blues verse and an 8-bar bridge. The recording took several days, between June 29 and July 1, with Buddy Holly singing and The Crickets on the vocals. They also had Niki Sullivan on guitar, Joe Mauldin on bass and Jerry Allison on drums. The song reached number 10 in the United States and number 3 in the United Kingdom in 1958. ↓ Skip to chords
