That'll Be The Day - The New Clovis Sessions - In 1955, Norman Petty opened a recording studio in Clovis, New Mexico, a small town near the Texas border. In early 1957, Buddy Holly and the Crickets recorded "That'll Be the Day" and the song's huge success made Holly a star. Over the next two years, Holly and his Crickets produced a string of hits that defined early rock and roll.

Fifty years after Buddy Holly came to Clovis, the Petty Studio reopened to record The New Clovis Sessions. These are the first new rescordings since the studio was closed shortly after Holly's tragic death in 1959. Several of Buddy Holly's original bandmates returned to the studio for these recordings.
