What Are You Listening To?

[CRAZY-HORSE]

EDDIE COCHRAN "rock 'n' roll legend" cd,2008.

Eddie is one of the forgotten icons of 1950s rock and roll. with hits like "c'mon everybody", "summeritme blues","three steps to heaven" and "twenty flight rock" he helped is an intregal part of rocks origins.
this one is a collection of tracks from 1957 and overlapping into early 1958. only "twenty flight rock" from the above mentioned four tracks appear here...not that thats a bad thing as this one does allow the listener to hear some of his formative recordings...if you like 1950s rock n roll, this one will appeal to you as it does to me. several little gems on here, allof which recieve "***". only one track i do not like on here...the terrible "have i told you lately that i love you"...IMO this is Ricky Nelson's song and no-one else can match his version incuding Elvis Presley.
not sure Eddie had the variety to succeed as a major star in music, but by dying in 1960 in a car crash in the UK he has cemented his place in history as one of those singers that lived fast and died young.
