Eddie Cochran - Somethin' Else

Don't need to say too much here, reached UK No 22 and US No 58???

Eddie Cochran - Drum City (Guybo)

Yesterday would have been Eddie Cochran's 74th birthday, so I thought I'd post one of my favorite instrumental's by the man himself. It's always been a favourite of mine and in my opinion is better than the original version of Guybo. The drum sound is excellent!

Drum City was an overdubed version of "Guybo", which was recorded on 25th August 1959.
Guybo aka Drum City was released in the U.S under the name of Cochran's band, The Kelly Four, who were Connie 'Guybo' Smith on bass, Dave Shriver on bass, Gene Riggio on drums and Jim Stivers on piano.

Eddie Cochran - Eddies Blues

Just been listen to some John Mayall on D4's blog, so I thought I'd put on one of my favourite blues tracks. It's by rocker Eddie Cochran, Eddies Blues was recorded on 25th August 1959, but not released until 1964, 4 years after his death, on the My Way album.

If you've not heard Cochran play the blues, then you may well be surprised.

Eddie Cochran - Little Lou

Another one of my favourite Cochran tracks, the lesser known Little Lou. Recorded in January 1958, but not released until 1964, on Eddis "My Way" album.

The Cochran Brothers - I'm Ready

Yes that's Eddie Cochran on the left, one of my all time favourites.

Eddie Cochran - Summertime Blues

Eddie Cochran's one of my two favourite artists, this is one of his most well known tracks, it reached No 18 in the UK and No 8 in the US.
