Críticas

"'Eddie Cochran had the whole package. He was a songwriter, he was a guitar player - boy, was he one of the first guitar players - and he had a natural voice that just rocked, plus he was good-looking but cool too. When I first heard "Somethin' Else" it blew my socks off? It was the hardest rockin' song that I still think I have ever heard. And hard rock doesn't just have to be your guitar turned up to eleven, it's the attitude.' Brian Setzer 'Unless you were lucky enough to know him and be able to sit backstage in his dressing-room when he would pick up his guitar and play what he felt, you never got to hear Eddie Cochran really play the guitar. People are so amazed by what they've heard on record. If you could have heard him, it was a million times better than anything they ever got on record. He was phenomenally talented. It was mind-boggling how a boy that young could play like he did.' Sharon Sheely"

Reseña del editor

Eddie Cochran started his recording career playing lead guitar and singing harmony in a hilbilly duo. By the time he was 17, he had moved away from country music and, inspired by rock'n'roll, wrote and recorded some of the greatest songs of all time, including "Summertime Blues", "C'mon Everybody" and "Three Steps to Heaven". In 1960, he was a teen idol around the world and was on a tour of Britain. The tour ended in tragedy, though, when he died in a car accident aged only 21. This book features contributions from Cochrane's family, friends and fellow musicians, along with rare photographs.
