After seeing Zootopia, I realized "Try Everything" had a very Buddy Holly-esque chord structure, and I could already hear it in my head. So we got together and recorded a backing track, and over time added overdubs until we got what you hear in this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Owpviq4Jqjg
I wanted the animal version of Buddy to be a species that hails from Texas (Buddy's birthplace)- it was a little difficult picking one, but eventually I decided on an American mink. It was interesting doing a combination of things- making sure it looked like Buddy, making it sure it accurately depicted a mink, making sure it was Zootopia style, and that he was dinstinctively different yet similar to Duke (both being small mustelids). I managed it though.
This cover is specifically based on an EP of some of his posthumous songs. Though I made it into an LP for design reasons.
