Who would have guessed 2011 would be the year of Buddy Holly? We’ve already seen one all-star tribute album and now we’re gearing up for a second. Despite its godawful cover, Listen to Me: Buddy Holly boasts an intriguing roster. The artists lean a little older than the Rave On Buddy Holly set, but Fall Out Boy’s Patrick Stump proves an exception to that rule. He also delivers our first listen to an album cut.
Anyone expecting a Fall Out Boy-style punky reimagining on his version of “Everyday” will be disappointed. Xylophone, tuba, and Stump’s inimitable falsetto soundtrack this gentle pop ballad. Stream the tune over at SPIN.com, then check out the just-released track listing below.
