Song Of The Day – “Party Doll” by Buddy Knox
Buddy Holly wasn’t the only rockabilly artist to come out of Texas in the late ’50s. Buddy Knox and his Rhythm Orchids featuring Jimmy Bowen on bass also sprang forth from the Lone Star State with this classic in 1957. Like Holly, Knox also wrote his own material…and like Holly, Knox’s early recordings including this one were produced by Norman Petty. Knox also scored hits with “Hula Love,” “Devil Woman,” “Swingin’ Daddy” and “Rock Your Little Baby To Sleep.”
