After the Buddy Holly experience, Jerry Allison moved to Los Angeles and became a studio musician tied to Snuff Garrett and Liberty Records.

Allison played percussion with Earl Palmer on Jan & Dean's "Tennessee" in the spring of 1962. Fellow Buddy Holly alumnus Tommy Allsup was also on the "Tennessee" session (guitar).

In late 1963, Jan Berry wrote the arrangement for the Sonny Curtis song, “Last Song I’m Ever Gonna Sing (Nashville)” — co-written by Curtis and Jerry Allison — which was released on the Dimension label.
