A song that inspired generations of musical outlaws.

When Mick Jones and Joe Strummer stumbled upon a cover song by a one-hit wonder from 1966, they had no idea they were uncovering a relic by the original rock & roll band, ‘The Crickets’. 

Rising from the shadow of leader Buddy Holly, they re-group to pioneer the model for independent bands of the future.

A journey packed with mystery and deja vu events.

Assembled and presented by Chris Lastelle.
