It's one part in Bon Iver's Deluxe video series, that all consist of reaction breaking images tht flow right in with the music.

A Tribute, the way Buddy wrote it

Buddy Holly, a.k.a the wild kid in the dapper suits and famous black retro ray-ban glasses,  sadly left us at only 22, but we celebrate his 75th birthday anniversary every year on September 7th and this year, Robert Smith produced a tribute Album in Buddy's honor jammed packed with huge names to give props to Mr. Holly.

"Rave on Buddy Holly," is the title of this musical collaboration of Buddy's famous hits that rocked the charts in 1957 before his death in 1959.

The prestigious artist line-up ranges from each end of the music spectrum with Paul McCartney, She and Him, My Morning Jacket, Patti Smith and  Cee Lo Green to name a few.

This album definitely does the job in recognizing all the talent great music Buddy created at only 22, and not to mention that it's kind of fun to see these different artists take the reins and put their own spin on the Holly classics.
