 | | Description: | Rocks by Jackie Lee Cochran, released 28 November 2025, includes the following tracks: "Cut Across The Tracks", "I Wanna See You", "Pity Me", "Hip Shakin` Mama" and more.
This version of Rocks comes as a 1xCD in a(n) Digipak packaging. - 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. Bear Family's 'Jackie Lee Cochran Rocks' generously surveys both important periods in Cochran's career; other than his seminal Dallas-cut 1956 debut single for Sims Records pairing Riverside Jump and Hip Shakin' Mama, Jackie did a lot of recording in Los Angeles, including his lone '57 Decca pairing of Ruby Pearl and Mama Don't You Think I Know, his 1958 singles for Spry (Pity Me) and Viv/Avalon/ABC-Paramount (I Want You b/w Buy A Car), and a steamy '59 effort for Jaguar - and they're all here. 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 "D" 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 audiences into an out-and-out frenzy three-plus decades later, Jackie Lee 'Waukeen' Cochran epitomized rockabilly snarl.Digipak"Rocks" on CD by Jackie Lee Cochran is a high-energy collection that focuses on his toughest rockabilly and rock 'n' roll recordings, showcasing why he is regarded as one of the genre's great cult figures. Across the disc you hear raw, echo-laden vocals, slap-back rhythms, twanging guitars and a driving beat that captures the spirit of the 1950s and early 1960s American rockabilly scene. This anthology is conceived as a focused "best of the rockers," concentrating on uptempo tracks, dance-floor favorites and hard-edged performances rather than ballads, making it ideal both for collectors and for listeners who want an immediate shot of vintage rock 'n' roll adrenaline. Carefully sequenced and remastered from the best available sources, the CD delivers punch, clarity and atmosphere while preserving the authentic, slightly rough sound that fans expect from original rockabilly recordings.
Jackie Lee Cochran - often celebrated as "Jack the Cat" by aficionados - was a charismatic singer and guitarist who worked the same authentic rockabilly territory as better-known contemporaries, and he has long been cherished by genre devotees for his intense vocal style and uncompromising feel. Over the years his recordings have become staples of rockabilly DJ sets and specialist radio shows, and several of his songs have appeared on influential compilations that helped keep the original rockabilly flame alive for new generations. His reputation has grown steadily among collectors, who value the combination of wild energy, heartfelt delivery and strong songwriting present in his best sides.
