The story behind The 'Chirping' Crickets, the debut album by The Crickets, the only one featuring Buddy Holly released during his tragically brief career, which ended with his accidental death aged 22.

This documentary celebrates its success and assesses its influence. Contributors include former band member Jerry Allison, singer Cliff Richard and writers John Beecher and Frank Blanas.
