Beschreibung
Ritche Valens was the first nationally recognized Latino rock'n' roll star.
He had a meteoric rise to fame in a career that lasted barely eight months,
before his tragic death along with Buddy Holly, the Big Bopper and pilot
Roger Peterson, in a plane crash north of Clear Lake, Iowa. Ritchie's unique
guitar style and high-energy performances and his hits Come On, Let's Go,
Donna, and La Bamba made him a well-known figure in the golden age of rock
'n' roll. Valens had only two studio albums, Ritche Valens and Ritchie, both
released posthumously in 1959. In Ritchie Valens Songbook: Hits and B Sides,
guitarist and author Ryan Sheeler presents an in-depth look at Ritchie's
music from these two albums, featuring 12 note-for-note transcriptions with
accompanying guitar tablature. This is a follow up to Sheeler's book, Ritchie
Valens: His Guitar and Music, featuring a complete exploration of La Bamba,
plus Ritchie's guitars and history.
