In memoriam to Buddy Holly (1936-1959), who would have turned 75 this year, an awesome collection of contemporary stars are releasing covers for a tribute album to the Rock-n-Roll pioneer.  Buddy Holly became an American Rock n’ Roll icon in only a year and a half before the 22 year old musician was killed in a plane crash with Ritchie Valens and JP “Big Bopper” Richardson in February 1959.

Several of the tracks have been leaked on the internet, and can be heard at the links below.

Dearest – The Black Keys
Rave On – Julian Casablancas

KCRW’s Liza Richardson played Modest Mouse’s take on “That’ll Be the Day” on her May 7th show.  You might have to hunt around for that one, but numerous sources report that it is about six minutes in on the show archive.

The album releases on June 28th through Fantasy/Concord, and the full track listing is as follows:

01 “Dearest” – The Black Keys
02 “Every Day” – Fiona Apple & Jon Brion
03 “It’s So Easy” – Paul McCartney
04 “Not Fade Away – Florence + The Machine”
05 “(You’re So Square) Baby, I Don’t Care” – Cee Lo Green
06 “Crying, Waiting, Hoping” – Karen Elson
07 “Rave On” – Julian Casablancas
08 “I’m Gonna Love You Too” – Jenny O.
09 “Maybe Baby” – Justin Townes Earle
10 “Oh Boy” – She & Him
11 “Changing All Those Changes” – Nick Lowe
12 “Words Of Love” – Patti Smith
13 “True Love Ways” – My Morning Jacket
14 “That’ll Be The Day” – Modest Mouse
15 “Well…All Right” – Kid Rock
16 “Heartbeat” -The Detroit Cobras
17 “Peggy Sue” – Lou Reed
18 “Peggy Sue Got Married” – John Doe
19 “Raining In My Heart” – Graham Nash
