Eddie Cochran - The Unforgettable Hits Collection: 1956-62
Eddie Cochran was one of the most iconic figures of the rock ānā roll era, his mystique and legendary status heightened by his tragic death in a road accident in 1960 when he was only 22. With heartthrob good looks and stylish image, he featured in the movie āThe Girl Canāt Help Itā even before he had a hit record. He came readily to stardom as the rock ānā roll explosion of the mid-50s reached its height, his records epitomising the teenage aspirations and angst of the times.
He was a sensational songwriter, a hyper energetic performer and innovative guitarist, pushing his instrument to the limit, using unwound strings to add a different and more emotive voice. In his short career he made some of the most memorable hits of the rock ānā roll era, which have become among the most covered songs, finding their way into the repertoire of every rock ānā roll band across the world.
This 20 track LP celebrates Cochranās legacy by bringing together all his hits, his most memorable tracks and glories in the young manās tenacious talent. It naturally includes the landmark records CāMonEverybody, Twenty Flight Rock, Summertime Blues, Somethinā Else, Three Steps To Heaven and Jeannie Jeannie Jeannie, alongside many more classics, ending with the incredibly intimate, stripped back rendition of Pink-Pegged Slacks. All in all, it provides an in depth overview of his glittering career and is a must for any rock n roller.
