Jackie Lee Cochran - 1985 Sessions - COMPACT DISCS [CD]

Jackie Lee Cochran - Rocks - With Jackie Lee Cochran, Bear Family presents a rockabilly performer known for his handful of incredibly effective numbers recorded in the mid-1950s. -Twenty or thirty years later, Cochran became a star of the rockabilly revival. -This 'Rocks' CD contains rare recordings from the 1950s made in Dallas and Los Angeles, such as Hip Shakin' Mama and I Want You. -It also includes his comeback recordings from the 1980s and '90s, his contribution to the rockabilly fever that swept across Europe in particular at the end of the last century! It took an outsized personality as well as a snarling set of pipes to stand out on the mid-1950s rockabilly circuit. Jackie Lee Cochran possessed both by the bushel. When the rockabilly revival exploded during the '70s and '80s, Jackie Lee was perfect situated to exploit the movement to the fullest, cutting far more material than he had his first time around.

There's also a generous sampling of his impressive comeback output for Ronny Weiser's Rollin' Rock imprint, often featuring Ray Campi's bass slapping, as well as '80s and '90s performances that decisively show Cochran still had plenty left in his tank. From his days on 'The Big InchDInch Jamboree' when his manager constructed an eight-foot-tall wooden silhouette of a black cat with illuminated red eyes for his eerie stage backdrop to when he regularly sent European

Jackie Cohen decided the only way forward was to succumb to crisis, to relax into it instead of fighting, to find beauty even in the flame-an approach that fuels her sublime new album, Pratfall, due September 9th. Because of the record's pandemic origins, Cohen was only aided in studio by two collaborators her husband, Foxygen's Jonathan Rado, and engineer Rias Reed. InchWe were a tight pod,Inch she laughs. The three musicians holed up at Sonora Recorders in Los Angeles, tapping into the studio's vaulted ceilings and haunted feeling to amplify Cohen's widescreen songwriting. InchElliott Smith recorded some stuff there, and it always seemed like there was a ghost banging around in there, turning lights on and off,Inch she says, before adding a cheery followup InchShakira recorded there too, can't forget another 5'2Inch icon.Inch On Pratfall, Cohen renders both extremes of that range of experience in warm, inviting indie pop. InchI didn't want to write a dirge inspired by the darkest moments of my life, I wanted a cathartic moment, to experience the emotion and build from it,Inch Cohen says. InchThis record is a climax where everything becomes explosive and you can just close your eyes, give in, and dance it off.InchTwo DaysCoup de GraceThe ValleyPratfallGhost StoryMoonstruckDire LoveLost Without FearSome DaysExtra CreditScraps Of Love
