(Book). Outrageously talented, remarkably handsome, internationally
renowned, and dead at the age of 21. More than 40 years after the
tragic car crash that killed him, Eddie Cochran remains one of rock
and roll's most lamented "What Ifs." A trailblazing guitarist,
gifted vocalist, hit-making composer and arranger, and budding
whiz-kid producer, Cochran quickly ascended from Midwestern
obscurity in the late '50s to become one of nascent rock and roll's
leading lights. He penned or recorded many of the most recognized
songs in rock history "Summertime Blues," "Nervous Breakdown,"
"Somethin' Else," "C'mon Everybody," "Twenty Flight Rock," "Sittin'
in the Balcony" songs whose distinctive sound and defiant, often
wryly humorous lyrics have been eagerly digested, analyzed and
lovingly reinterpreted by generations of rockers after him, from
The Beatles to the Sex Pistols, The Who to U2. Three Steps to
Heaven: The Eddie Cochran Story co-authored by Cochran's nephew,
also a gifted musician is the first American biography of this
uniquely American rock legend, who was among the first to be
inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. The book is a
detailed portrait of Cochran's personal and professional triumphs
and travails, with fascinating insight into the rock pioneer's life
that only a family member can provide. 33 B/W photographs;
Hardcover.
