	Eddie Cochran
		Cochran zeroed in on teenage angst and desire with such classics as “C’mon Everybody,”; “Something Else,” “Twenty Flight Rock” and “Summertime Blues.” A flashy stage dresser with a tough-sounding voice, Cochran epitomized the sound and the stance of the Fifties rebel rocker.
		Cochran’s musical influences ran more toward the more extroverted likes of Bill Haley, Little Richard and Carl Perkins, and that is direction he pursued as a solo artist in the later Fifties.
		Eddie Cochran released only one album during his lifetime, which was abruptly cut short when the taxi in which he was a passenger crashed en route to a London airport at the end of a British tour.

	Somethin' Else: The Fine Lookin' Hits Of Eddie Cochran CD
		Cochran is sometimes overlooked by rock historians, but on the basis of three classic singles alone--the title track, "Twenty Flight Rock" and the immortal "Summertime Blues"--he deserves to be near the top of any halfway-serious list of '50s icons.
		From his rare early single "Tired and Sleepy," as one-half of the Cochran Brothers (although he and Hank Cochran were not related), to the gems which came out after his death in a car accident in London, these songs are stripped-down rockabilly--with a heavy and largely unremarked-upon jump blues influence--at its finest.
		Cochran’s style is definately rock and roll with a rockabilly flavour (listen to the first two songs).
