THE BOBBY FULLER FOUR
With his blatant reverence for Buddy Holly, fellow Texan Bobby Fuller was a bit of an anomaly in the mid-'60s.
With his Stratocaster guitar and brash, full sound, at his best Fuller sounded like Holly might have had
he survived into the '60s. Cracking the Top 30 in 1966 with a cover of Holly's "Love's Made a Fool of You"
and the Top Ten with "I Fought the Law" (written by one-time Cricket Sonny Curtis), Fuller had just become
a star when he died in mysterious circumstances in a parked car in Hollywood.
Fuller's relatively short period of national stardom actually crowned a good half-dozen years of recording,
during which he released many outstanding tracks

The title track was an international smash for the Bobby Fuller Four and certainly their most
recognized and popular single. Fuller's idol was Buddy Holly, and former Cricket Sonny Curtis
wrote the song that first came out on the Crickets' 1962 album In Style with the Crickets.
"Let Her Dance" was also a hit and is included. Chip Taylor wrote "Julie," a Hollywood-esque
pounder of infectious proportions. Ten of the 12 songs are Bobby Fuller Four original
compositions. "Only When I Dream" could have been written for The Everly Brothers,
while "A New Shade of Blue" and "Fool of Love" are more moderate ballads that contrast
with the upbeat and infectiously danceable quality of the remaining songs.
More consistent than KRLA King of the Wheels, I Fought the Law is a masterpiece
from the mid-'60s and Fuller's best album released in his lifetime...(AllMusic)
