Day 14

Before I leave Eddie Cochran, here’s one he wrote after the shock deaths of Buddy Holly, Ritchie Valens and the Big Bopper. It’s a little maudlin but heartfelt. Eddie himself would be killed just over a yr later. RIP

Eddie Cochran - Three stars

Day 13

Another Eddie Cochran reference and featuring guitars too! 😊

Just Like Eddie - The Silicon Teens

Whenever I'm sad, whenever I'm blue
Whenever my troubles are heavy
Beneath the stars I play my guitar*
Just like Eddie

*Or synth, I this case 😊

Something a bit more rock and roll-y from me today 😊

Eddy Vortex - Steve Gibbons Band

But he looks like Eddie Cochran
So that’s good enough for me

I loved spotting the blast of ‘In The Name Of Love’, straight after Tom sings, “I played you all my favourite records“ in the Love On Your Side single 🥰

Day 10

The Upsetters - Return of Django

Skart the week Monday 👍

I know some would argue this was inspired by the film of the same name, but I’m inclined to think - at least subconsciously - this is referencing Belgium jazz guitarist Django Reinhardt 😊

Such an iconic line. First line in the Shangri-Las Leader Of The Pack, brilliantly homaged by The Damned, and later used as the title of Joe Jackson’s fine single. I’m going for New Rose 🥰🧷
