Buddy Holly - Alone (1959)

 Like most musicians, Buddy Holly liked to play music at home, and write there too. He had gotten married to a woman named Maria Elana, and they got an apartment together in New York City, where Buddy Holly made some home recordings on his acoustic guitar. These recordings, much like his final studio recordings, are superb. These recordings just go to highlight Holly's superb skill as a songwriter and as a performer.
