Says Warwick, "I’ve kept you waiting for this one - was it worth the wait?! My new single 'The Crickets Stayed In Clovis' is out now! We unashamedly fired up the Thin Lizzy harmony guitars on this one! You’ll find the track on my upcoming album Blood Ties, which you can pre-order now at earache.com/rickywarwick - heads up that the splatter vinyl edition is 50% sold out!

“'The Crickets Stayed In Clovis' is about how life can change in the blink of an eye, as was seen with the ill-fated plane journey that took the lives of Buddy Holly and three others. A few weeks before the flight, Buddy had fired his backing band, The Crickets. Waylon Jennings was supposed to be on the flight but gave his seat up to the Big Bopper, who had the flu and Waylon felt sorry for him. Ritchie Valens flipped a coin with Tommy Allsup for his seat, Ritchie won and lost his life.

"Life’s a game of chance, sometimes it’s better to play the long game and not be envious of others, as you never know what tomorrow brings."
