The Crickets, now a trio, continued to make stage and TV appearances and recorded more songs, many composed by the band members.

For the 1971 album Rockin' 50's Rock n' Roll (which consisted mostly of remakes of Holly-era material), the group consisted of Curtis, Allison and Doug Gilmore. For the 1973 album Bubblegum, Bop, Ballad and Boogies, the lineup featured Curtis, Alison, Hardin and bassist Ric Grech.
