Eddie Cochran is a paramount figure of rock and roll...He was basically Chuck Berry and Elvis rolled into one person.

He could sing, he could play guitar, he was good looking. this kid really had it all going on. He was experimental with recording techniques, being one of the first to mess with multi-track recording and overdubbing..He even was one of the first to mix distortion into his sounds.

I want to be completely transparent with you and take note of this starting point.

Cheers!
