Bobby Vee – Bobby Vee

Bobby Vee – Bobby Vee

Released in March 1961 on Liberty Records, Bobby Vee is the second album by rock and roll teen idol Bobby Vee, produced by legendary hitmaker Snuff Garrett. Packed with irresistible hooks and that unmistakable early-60s pop charm, this self-titled release captures Vee at the height of his teen idol powers.

The album showcases Bobby Vee's first two Top Ten hits that broke toward the end of 1960, "Devil or Angel" and "Rubber Ball," both delivered with the youthful energy and polished production that made Vee a household name. The record rounds out with charming covers including Johnny Tillotson's "Poetry in Motion," the classic "Mr. Sandman," and Little Willie John's "Talk to Me, Talk to Me," giving listeners a well-rounded snapshot of the era's biggest pop sounds filtered through Vee's smooth, likeable style.

A must for collectors of golden-era rock and roll and teen idol pop, this album is a nostalgic time capsule from one of the genre's most enduring voices - a performer who would go on to give a young Bob Dylan one of his earliest gigs.
