BUDDY HOLLY TRIBUTE WITH STEVIE NICKS & THE FRAY

THE FRAY GUITARIST DAVE WELSH MENTIONS BUDDY HOLLY TRIBUTE
ALBUM THAT INCLUDES STEVIE NICKS & OTHERS
Syracuse New Times

the quote:
During The New Times’ April 10th phoner with Dave Welsh, 25, the guitarist chatted about the upcoming show and some sideline contributions on the way (“We just did a Buddy Holly tribute that also featured The Rejects, Stevie Nicks and a handful of other older-heritage talent.”)

Back in January of this year during an interview with Producer Peter Asher (here) he mentioned that he was in the studio with Stevie working on a track for a 50th Anniversary Tribute Album to Buddy Holly.

The quote:
“I’m in the studio producing a Buddy Holly tribute album for the 50th anniversary of his death,” he says of his current project. “For the last couple of days, I’ve been in the studio with Stevie Nicks doing a track with her.”

STEVIE DOES BUDDY
Oh... And Stevie Nicks is apparently working on a track for a Buddy Holly tribute album being put together by Peter Asher to mark the 50th anniversary of his death in February, 1959. (It'll be 51 years this February... Better get crackin'!)

The quote from the article:

“I’m in the studio producing a Buddy Holly tribute album for the 50th anniversary of his death,” he says of his current project. “For the last couple of days, I’ve been in the studio with Stevie Nicks doing a track with her.”

Asher seems so nonchalant about recording with Nicks that he may as well by talking about picking up his dry cleaning, but it’s just another testament to how many music legends he knows on a first-name basis.
