A buddy once described guys like Eddie and Gene Vincent as the heavy metal acts of the 50s. I think I would describe them more like the punk/new wave of that era, but either way great music and good fun. My favourite Cochran songs; "C'mon on Everybody" (of course) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lyU5bsfRdpE and "Nervous Breakdown" http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=apO0d0hdZbo . The latter was just covered by Wanda Jackson on her, Jack White produced, record from last year. A lot of chatter about Wanda's record, but I wasn't crazy about it. Wanda though will forever be in my hip category for her songs "Fujiyama Mama" http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2vtGwGBuBHc and "Let's Have a Party" http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7ksBcV-qrgo&feature=related .
