Track was remastered for the occasion but, according to Peter Asher’s notes, song comes in its original Val Garay mix. 3) CD album comes with two liner notes essays, “The Legacy Of Buddy Holly” by James Henke and “Listen To Buddy” by executive producer Peter Asher. Please refer to original CD album’s booklet for these. 4) CD album comes with song-by-song liner notes by Peter Asher. While I took the liberty to quote two paragraphs in relation to two of the tracks Lee is a player on (see bottom of post), please check out original CD album’s booklet for the complete notes.

“Thanks Be. // This album is a labor of love, starting with Holly’s own. Buddy’s legacy is a testament to the great love Maria Elena Holly has shown for more than 50 years to her young husband’s music his talent, and his vision. We are delighted that she loves the music on this album. Peter Asher, Executive Producer, makes no bones about Buddy’s songs, either: he “loved them all.” Every artist, musician, and technician performing on this album was open about her love for Holly’s music. Each brought a love for his craft and this music to every note played, verse sung, and track laid down. Thank you // Many others gave with open hearts to make this album, celebration, and project the most outstanding tribute to Buddy Holly’s music possible. Our amazing staff are the foremost, especially Melika Atic and Reni Calister. Our friends at Verve and Universal have given outstanding support at every level. Despite the admonitions of Shakespeare, we thank our wise counsel - especially Rochelle Kerner. Plan A Media forged their full-steam-ahead publicity and Doreen D’Agostino gave committed assistance early on. We have had unwavering help from the “Fearless” Brian J. Murphy, the fabulous Tisha Fein, the lovely Ivy Skoff, and the incomparable Phil Hack and David Leaf. We are inspired by the devotion of Peter Bradley, John Thomas, Kevin McGowan, Molly Mayeux, and Dick Cole to Buddy Holly’s music legacy - and his guitars! Our colleagues at Peer Music, MPL and Universal have done much, hallelujah, to put Holly’s “Star” on the Hollywood Walk of Fame. Sean Keepers and Brent Carpenter made us all look good, literally. Thank you. // Peter Asher’s music here is extraordinary. The thoroughly modern yet utterly authentic renditions of Holly’s works here sing for themselves. But the music is not all of the story to this album, and this album is not the entire story of the “Listen to Me” project - a series of celebrations of the True.Great.Original. Artists who forever changed contemporary music, re-interpreted by today’s leading artists to raise support for the next generation of music’s greats. This was one of Buddy’s personal goals. In his footsteps, “Listen To Me” will benefit three music industries charities that support new, great talent. Thanks be to all, from Songmasters.”.

“Original 1976 version Re-Mastered 2011”.

Excerpts from the Song-by-Song Liner Notes by producer Peter Asher

“Not Fade Away - Stevie Nicks // Stevie Nicks’ voice and style are national treasures! She is a valued friend and as one of the very first people we invited to be part of this project, Stevie had first pick. I initially suggested another song but Stevie chose “Not fade Away”, and how right she was. I co-produced this track with my dear friend and colleague (and one of the very finest guitarists in the whole of rock and roll), Waddy Wachtel and we brought in the legendary rhythm section of Russ Kunkel and Leland Sklar. Waddy and Stevie had worked together as a team for quite a while so it was the perfect setup. And I was very privileged to join Lori Nicks and Sharon Celani as one of the “Bopettes” in singing our version of the original background parts! Stevie’s vocal was cut live - she sang with an intensity and determination that is a treat to hear. (…) // Well All Right - Lyle Lovett // One of the most amiable, charming and intelligent gentlemen in the music business with a wonderful voice to match, Lyle is another favourite singer who said “yes” right away. I was visiting him at his recording session in Los Angeles and asked him on the spot. We picked up a couple of guitars and tried out “Well All Right”, which seemed to suit Lyle perfectly. I sang some harmony parts, we both played and it sounded right - so we called up our shared favourite rhythm section of Russ Kunkel and Leland Sklar (along with guitar maestro, Waddy Wachtel) and cut it just that way.”.

“Special Thanks to Tony Brown, Jimmy Bowen, Bruce Hinton, Jessie Noble, Bob Bullock, Sally Isaacson, Jim Malloy, Reneé Bell, Simon Levy, Emerald Sound Studio, all the excellent musicians, and the wonderful family at MCA Records. // “Painting Music” was conceived by traveling to different parts of the country - writing about the magic, wonders and beauty of each setting. I hope you enjoy the music. // Billy Joe Walker, Jr.”.

“Gauguin used a paintbrush to capture his impressions of the world around him; Billy Joe Walker, Jr. uses a guitar. Yet both artists portray a world in primary hues, a world where life seems more joyously unexpected than ever before. // In “Painting Music,” Billy Joe Walker’s newest offering, his canvas is the imagination and his palette is filled with chords that bathe the senses in vibrant color. The album proves with an almost playful certainty that Billy has become a master of his exacting craft. // Making vividly visual music is nothing new to him. His previous Master Series albums, “Treehouse” and “Universal Language,” venture deep into the realm of the mind’s eye; his session tracks for such talents as Kim Carnes, Waylon Jennings and Ray Charles weave a strong visual thread into those artists’ efforts. // “Painting Music,” however, goes far beyond anything else Billy has produced to date. Its pulse is the pulse of waves on a Malibu beach, of the rhythmic Caribbean lifestyle, of the mischievous thrust and parry of bonefishing in the Florida Keys. Its songs color those subjects and more in earthy umbers and lush blue-greens. Billy’s guitar work has a sure and sometimes sassy feel that tickles the senses as it touches the heart. // Fusing an uncommon vision with a dollop of elemental magic, Billy Joe Walker’s “Painting Music” is, quite simply, a paean to that finest of all the arts…the art of exuberant living.”.

Billy Joe Walker, Jr.
