'''The Crickets''' were an American [[rock and roll]] band from [[Lubbock, Texas]], formed by singer-songwriter [[Buddy Holly]] in January 1957. Their first hit record, "[[That'll Be the Day]]", released in May 1957, peaked at number three on the [[Billboard Hot 100|''Billboard'' Top 100]] chart on September 16, 1957. The sleeve of their first album, ''[[The "Chirping" Crickets]]'', shows the band line-up at the time: Holly on lead vocals and lead guitar, [[Niki Sullivan]] on rhythm guitar, [[Jerry Allison]] on drums, and [[Joe B. Mauldin]] on bass. The Crickets helped set the template for subsequent rock bands, such as [[the Beatles]], with their guitar-bass-drums line-up, performing their own material. After [[The Day the Music Died|Holly's death in 1959]], the band continued to tour and record into the 1960s and beyond with other band members through to the 21st century.

==History==
===Formation===
[[File:Norman Petty Studios.jpg|thumb|upright|left|Norman Petty Recording Studios]]
Holly had been making [[demo (music)|demo recordings]] with local musician friends since 1954. [[Sonny Curtis]], [[Jerry Allison]], and Larry Welborn participated in these sessions. In 1956 Holly's band, then known informally as Buddy and the Two Tones (Holly with [[Sonny Curtis]] and Don Guess;<ref>((Cite web |title=Buddy Holly Timeline: 1936 to 1956 |url=http://www.buddyhollycenter.org/gallery/1936to56.aspx |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110719193144/http://www.buddyhollycenter.org/gallery/1936to56.aspx |archive-date=July 19, 2011 |publisher=[[Buddy Holly Center]]))</ref> posthumous releases refer to the Three Tunes), recorded an album's worth of [[rockabilly]] numbers in [[Nashville, Tennessee]], for [[Decca Records|Decca]]. The records were not more than mildly successful, and the band did not achieve financial success until 1957, when the producer and recording engineer [[Norman Petty]] recorded Holly's sessions in [[Clovis, New Mexico]].

Holly had already recorded for another label under his own name, so to avoid legal problems he needed a new name for his group.<ref name="pc12">((Gilliland |url=https://digital.library.unt.edu/ark:/67531/metadc19761/m1/ |title=Show 12 – Big Rock Candy Mountain: Rock 'n' Roll in the Late Fifties. [Part 2] ))</ref> As the Crickets recalled in John Goldrosen's book ''Buddy Holly – His Life and Music'', they were inspired by other groups named after birds. They were then considering [[cricket (insect)|insect-centered]] names, apparently unaware of the Bronx R&B vocal group the Crickets, who recorded for Jay-Dee.<ref>((Cite web |title=crickets |url=http://home.earthlink.net/~jaymar41/crickets.html |access-date=July 17, 2011 |publisher=Home.earthlink.net))</ref> They almost chose the name ''Beetles''; years later, [[the Beatles]] chose their name partly in homage to the Crickets.<ref>((Cite web |title=The Crickets |url=http://www.snopes.com/music/artists/crickets.htm |access-date=February 11, 2013 |website=Snopes.com|date=May 9, 2000 ))</ref><ref name=pc12/><ref>((Cite web |last=Persalis, Dave |title=The Beatles: What's In a Name? |url=http://abbeyrd.best.vwh.net/named.htm |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110604213032/http://abbeyrd.best.vwh.net/named.htm |archive-date=June 4, 2011 |access-date=July 17, 2011 |publisher=Abbeyrd.best.vwh.net))</ref>

The Crickets were lead guitarist and vocalist Buddy Holly, drummer [[Jerry Allison]], [[Bass (instrument)|bassist]] [[Joe B. Mauldin]], and rhythm guitarist [[Niki Sullivan]]. Sullivan dropped out after a little more than one year to resume his education. The Crickets, now a trio, continued to make stage and TV appearances and recorded more songs, many composed by the band members.

===Early success===

Topps issued series cards featuring movie stars, television stars and recording stars. The Crickets were part of its series of recording stars cards.]]
In 1957 [[Norman Petty]] arranged for the Crickets' recordings to be marketed under two names. The solo vocals were released as being performed by Buddy Holly, and the songs with dubbed backing vocals were issued as being sung by the Crickets.<ref name=pc12/> Petty reasoned correctly that disc jockeys might be reluctant to program a single artist too heavily but would play records by two seemingly different groups. Some disc jockeys referred to the band as "Buddy Holly and the Crickets", but record labels never used this wording until after Holly's death.

In 1958, Holly broke with producer Petty and moved to New York to be more involved with the publishing and recording businesses. Allison and Mauldin chose not to move and returned to Lubbock. Holly now recorded under his own name with the studio musicians [[Tommy Allsup]] and [[Carl Bunch]]. [[Waylon Jennings]] toured with him shortly after Holly left the Crickets. Allison and Mauldin looked forward to rejoining Holly after he returned from a winter tour through the northern [[Midwestern United States|Midwest]]. In the meantime, Mauldin, Allison, and [[Sonny Curtis]] (a friend and collaborator of Holly's) began recording new songs as the Crickets, with vocals by [[Earl Sinks]]. While they were recording, it was announced that Holly had died in a [[The Day the Music Died|plane crash]] while on tour.

===After Holly's death===
[[File:thecrickets.jpg|thumb|upright|left|The Crickets in 1962: <br>[[Sonny Curtis]], [[Jerry Allison]], [[Glen Hardin]], [[Jerry Naylor]]]]

Curtis was not in the band, as he was completing military service. Box, who had left the group in 1960, died in a charter plane crash on October 23, 1964, while touring as a solo singer.<ref>((Cite web |title=Buddy Holly & The Crickets.com – David Box |url=http://www.buddyhollyonline.com/related/dbox.html |access-date=July 17, 2011 |publisher=Buddyhollyonline.com))((dead link|date=December 2015))</ref><ref>((Cite web |date=January 29, 2004 |title=Just a Day Away |url=http://www.hubstuff.com/pdf/hubstuff_vol2no6.pdf |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20040615073232/http://www.hubstuff.com/pdf/hubstuff_vol2no6.pdf |archive-date=June 15, 2004 |access-date=July 17, 2011 |website=HubStuff))</ref>

In April 1960 the Crickets backed the [[Everly Brothers]] on their first UK concert tour but were not billed as their backing group.<ref>((Cite web |last=Subrosa Citizens Bureau |date=November 11, 2016 |title=Everly Brothers Cathy's Clown 1960 |url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_OKkganjvwg |url-status=live |archive-url=https://ghostarchive.org/varchive/youtube/20211211/_OKkganjvwg |archive-date=2021-12-11 |publisher=[[YouTube]]))((cbignore))</ref> By 1962, the Crickets consisted of Curtis, Allison, [[Glen D.

That year, the Crickets' version of the [[Gerry Goffin]]–[[Carole King]] song "[[Don't Ever Change (song)|Don't Ever Change]]" ([[Liberty Records]]), featuring Naylor on lead vocals,<ref name="Rockin50s.com" /> reached the top five in the British single charts.<ref>((Cite web |date=December 22, 2010 |title=Don't Ever Change |url=http://www.beatlesbible.com/songs/dont-ever-change/ |access-date=July 17, 2011 |publisher=The Beatles Bible))</ref> Also in 1962 they released ''Bobby Vee Meets the Crickets'', an album with [[Bobby Vee]] on lead vocals. For their 1962 UK tour, Allison was temporarily out of the group because of commitments with the U.S. Air Force.

In 1963, the Crickets hit the UK top 40 twice more, with the singles "[[My Little Girl (Crickets song)|My Little Girl]]" and "Don't Try to Change Me", the last of their recordings to reach the charts. The band continued to record. In 1964, the Crickets issued their version of the [[surf music|surf rock]] song "[[California Sun]]" for their album of the same title.<ref>((Cite web |title=Buddy Holly & The Crickets.com – The Crickets Discography |url=http://www.buddyhollyonline.com/albums.html |access-date=July 17, 2011 |publisher=Buddyhollyonline.com))((dead link|date=December 2015))</ref> In 1970, Jerry Allison and Sonny Curtis performed backing vocals for Eric Clapton for his first solo album titled ''Eric Clapton''.

Personnel changes were made over the years, with Curtis and Allison remaining relative constants. For the 1971 album ''Rockin' 50s Rock n' Roll'' (which consisted mostly of remakes of Holly-era material), the group consisted of Curtis, Allison and Doug Gilmore. For the 1973 album ''Bubblegum, Bop, Ballad and Boogies'', the line-up featured Curtis, Allison, Hardin and bassist [[Ric Grech]]. Steven Krikorian, later to record as the new wave artist [[Tonio K.]], joined the group as a vocalist shortly thereafter, as did guitarists [[Albert Lee]] and [[Nick van Maarth]], replacing Hardin. The 1973 album ''Remnants'' and the 1974 album ''A Long Way from Lubbock'' featured the sextet of Allison, Curtis, Krikorian, Grech, Lee and van Maarth.

In 1978, the award-winning film ''[[The Buddy Holly Story]]'', starring [[Gary Busey]] as Holly, presented an engaging but inaccurate depiction of the band's early years. Allison and Mauldin's names were altered to Jesse Charles and Ray Bob Simmons, respectively, to avoid legal action due to their rights being sold to another film production that was also working on Holly's story. [[Niki Sullivan]], Sonny Curtis, [[Bob Montgomery (songwriter)|Bob Montgomery]], Don Guess, and Larry Welborn were written out of the film. The Crickets gave a thumbs down review of the film wherein Allison expressed his dislike on the portrayal of his fictional counterpart Jesse Charles: vulgar, [[Racism|racist]], alcoholic, and profane.

In the 1980s, Waylon Jennings called to ask the Crickets (JI, Joe B and Sonny) to open for him on a tour. They stayed with him for five years. Gordon Payne (Waylon's guitarist) played lead and on a few gigs when Sonny broke his arm. Gordon joined the Crickets as lead guitarist and singer when Sonny left. This trio of JI, Joe B and Gordon toured for some years including visits to the UK. In the UK Paul McCartney recorded the Crickets single "T Shirt" in his studio and played piano on the track.During this time a Swedish Television Company recorded a film showing JI, Joe B and Gordon touring the UK and Sweden, as well as at home in Tennessee. It was called ''My Love Is Bigger than a Cadillac''. In 1994, Gordon Payne left and Sonny returned and was joined by Glen D Hardin to take the group to a four piece band. After recording "Well All Right" with [[Nanci Griffith]], the group toured the UK with Griffith and her Orchestra

The Crickets released ''The Crickets and Their Buddies'' in 2004, featuring classics from all parts of their career, with performances by several prominent artists, including [[Eric Clapton]], [[Rodney Crowell]], [[Waylon Jennings]], [[Nanci Griffith]], [[John Prine]], [[Graham Nash]], and [[Bobby Vee]]. The album was produced and mixed by Greg Ladanyi and included editing and additional mixes by Dave Carlock, Rob Hill, and [[Rogers Masson]].<ref>((Cite web |title=The Crickets |url=http://www.thecrickets.com/ |access-date=July 17, 2011 |publisher=The Crickets))</ref> For the album, the Crickets officially consisted of Allison, Curtis and Mauldin; former members Albert Lee (guitar) and Glen D. Hardin (keyboards) also played throughout, and one-time member Steven Krikorian (now known as [[Tonio K.]]) was the lead vocalist on two tracks.

On October 28, 2008, the Crickets were inducted into the [[Musicians Hall of Fame and Museum]] in [[Nashville, Tennessee]]. They performed "[[Peggy Sue]]", "[[Not Fade Away (song)|Not Fade Away]]" and "[[That'll Be the Day]]" at the ceremony, accompanied by guest guitarist [[Keith Richards]].<ref name="tennessean">((Cite web |date=October 28, 2008 |title=Keith Richards, Percy Sledge, Others Honor New Musician Hall of Fame Inductees |url=http://search.tennessean.com/sp?aff=1100&skin=100&keywords=Keith+Richards&x=4&y=15 |access-date=November 6, 2008 |website=The Tennessean))((dead link|date=August 2017|bot=medic))((cbignore|bot=medic))</ref><ref name="bbc-hof">((Cite news |date=October 29, 2008 |title=Hall of Fame Honour for Booker T |publisher=BBC News |url=http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/entertainment/7697148.stm |access-date=November 6, 2008))</ref> In 2011, Allison was still touring with [[Sonny Curtis]], a childhood friend and bandmate of Holly's, on vocals and guitar.

On April 14, 2012, the Crickets were inducted into [[the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame]] by a special committee charged with correcting the omission of the band with Holly when he was first inducted in 1986.<ref>((Cite news |last=Greene |first=Andy |date=February 9, 2012 |title=Rock and Roll Hall of Fame Adds Six Backing Groups to the Class of 2012 |publisher=[[Rolling Stone]] |url=https://www.rollingstone.com/music/music-news/rock-and-roll-hall-of-fame-adds-six-backing-groups-to-the-class-of-2012-77581/ |access-date=August 13, 2021))</ref> The inducted members were [[Jerry Allison]], [[Sonny Curtis]], [[Joe B.
