About this Artist

Editorial Reviews

Eddie Cochran hasn't been unaccounted for in the reissue sweepstakes since the rockabilly revival of the late '70s/early '80s -- quite the contrary. His greatest hits have been around the block a few times, and his voluminous amount of session work has all resurfaced on myriads of foreign collector labels. This 1998 best-of on Razor & Tie duplicates 15 of the 20 tracks on EMI's Legendary Masters Series compilation from 1990. Hits are hits, after all, and Cochran's best is hardly open to debate. What distinguishes this package is the inclusion of "Tired and Sleepy" from the Cochran Brothers, an early swipe at "Long Tall Sally," the instrumental "Guybo," "Cherished Memories," and the almost pop-folk "Boll Weevil." Great liner notes from Colin Escott and top-flight sound also make this disc highly recommended. If you're looking to start your Eddie Cochran collection, this makes an excellent first purchase.

The Unknown Rockerby Rocko_Jerome

May 31, 2009: The only guy who could've truly rivaled Elvis. He had the looks, charisma, and the voice, plus he wrote great songs and could jam out on his guitar. Unfortunately for him and all of us, he didn't have the lifespan.

You can truly Marvel at Eddie's power on every one of these tracks. Wherever there's fun to be had, these songs belong. So in a way, Eddie Cochran lives forever.
