Book excerpt: The story of Eddie Cochran, who started his recording career playing lead guitar and singing harmony with Hank Cochran in the hillbilly duet The Cochran Brothers. In the autumn of 1955, Eddie and Hank, who were unrelated, arrived in Dallas to play the Big D Jamboree, missing by days a young Elvis Presley's appearance. Inspired by rock 'n' roll, the 17-year-old Eddie moved away from country music to become one of the most sought-after guitarists on the West Coast of America. He wrote and recorded songs including Summertime Blues, C'mon Everybody, Something Else and Three Steps to Heaven. In 1960, he embarked on a tour of Britain. Easter Sunday, four months later, the tour was to end in tragedy. This work contains contributions from Cochran's family, friends, associates and fellow musicians, along with 100 rare photographs.
