**Brian May**‘s rare tribute version of **Buddy Holly**‘s rock ‘n’ roll classic “
[**Maybe Baby**](https://reybee.us13.list-manage.com/track/click?u=f67b4587af2b2ef9aa80ed984&id=ac68537dd2&e=615f2b8493)”
is available for download and streaming from April 14, accompanied by an eye-catching
new video. The clip comprises Brian “fan art,” with a colorful collection of fan-
created images of the **Queen** guitar hero from throughout his stellar career.

Brian’s version of the track is on the second disc of bonus tracks on the April 
22 deluxe reissue of his second solo album, 1998’s [**_Another World_**](https://reybee.us13.list-manage.com/track/click?u=f67b4587af2b2ef9aa80ed984&id=21a1aee0f7&e=615f2b8493)_.
_The second release in his Gold Series, it contains the remastered original album
alongside _Another Disc, _on which he treats his legions of fans to a wealth of 
previously unreleased remixes, rarities, live tracks and cover versions. 

“I’ve never done a Buddy Holly song, and I did ‘Maybe Baby,’” says Brian, ever aware
of the part that the single played in his development as a musician. “That song 
more than probably any other, is the reason that I’m here doing this, playing guitar
and being a rock star and being a very fortunate person.”

As well as “Maybe Baby,” the _Another Disc _bonus disc has May interpreting two 
more classic 45’s from his youth, the Shadows’ 1961 instrumental “**F.B.I.**” and
Conway Twitty’s 1958 tear-jerker “**It’s Only Make Believe**.” Both the latter song
and “Maybe Baby” feature guest vocals by Brian’s “friend” T.E. Conway, his one-time
alter ego who appeared at the Queen Christmas Convention at London’s _Shepherds 
Bush Empire_ in 1998. 

The new video also includes a Queen fan’s visual tip of the hat to the T.E. Conway
character, and Brian says of the second disc on the new deluxe album: “It has a 
also an escapade where a dear friend [and] relative of mine, T.E. Conway, visited
me from the southern states of America and performed for me, if you like.”

“Maybe Baby,” credited to Holly’s group the Crickets, entered the UK and US charts
in March 1958, and it had a profound effect on May, who was then just ten years 
old.

“I heard Buddy Holly make that incredible sound on his guitar, that clang, singing
that beautiful song, hearing those wonderful harmonies of the Crickets,” he remembers.“
And it completely motivated me. I just thought, ‘That’s what I want to do. I want
to be able to make music that does that to people, makes them feel this kind of 
yearning, makes them feel this joy and passion.’”
