Occasionally, we post on the week's new music released on Tuesdays. You'd think, given the name, that it was a weekly feature: you'd be wrong. PJ Harvey, Let England Shake I wasn't enthralled by Harvey's White Chalk , which articulated itself in a sustained whisper. And the first time I heard Let England Shake on NPR's preview feed, I questioned its worth. But what a difference fidelity makes. As soon as I started [...]

Wanda Jackson hooks up with Jack White with an uneven result.
The Family Jewels Jewel Akens (who should not be confused with Jewel The Babe Folkie) was a 19602s R&B singer. His early career included recording with jazz reed player Eddie Daniels (as Jewel And Eddie) as well as singing back-up for various and sundry R&B hits. His early recordings also included guitar-playing by Eddie Cochran . To elucidate further: In 1965, Akens recorded his only Top 40 hit, The Birds And The Bees . Though it's credited to "Barry [...]
My favorite albums from a half century ago.
In the beginning, The Who advertised themselves as purveyors of "Maximum R&B." Although that soon gave way to straight ahead rock and roll, they occasionally came back to their roots as evidenced by this cover of Eddie Cochran's "Summertime Blues" on the legendary "Live at Leeds" album.
The two reprise "20 Flight Rock" to kick off Conan's new show.
Conan O'Brien & Jack White - « Twenty Flight Rock » (Eddie Cochran) Si vous suivez un peu les Late Night américains, vous savez sûrement que c'était le grand retour de Conan O'Brien hier soir sur TBS. Si vous suivez un peu ce que fait Jack White, vous savez sûrement que lui et Conan ont enregistré un album live lors du passage de ce dernier à Nashville en juin dernier. Jack fait tellement de choses en même temps que vous avez peut-être loupé cette info. Bref, l'album devrait voir le jour incessamment [...]
Filed under: Concerts and Tours , News , Television While hardly anyone knew what to expect from Conan O'Brien 's comeback to late-night TV on Monday night, pretty much anyone familiar with Jack White could guess that his performance on the premiere episode of 'Conan' wouldn't be business as usual. Still, it was somewhat of a surprise when, during the final stretch of the show, the host and Jimmy Vivino and the Basic Cable Band joined [...]
So Conan is back on the air and all is right with the world. His opening montage was one of the funnier things I have seen on TV since the original Iron Chef Japan started rerunning every night at 11:00PM. It seems that Conan may have had a direct hand in the shows first music booking. With the Katy Perry's of the world vying for that last minute, fourth quarter look, it is Jack White that takes the stage. With Conan in tow, White rips through Eddie Cochran's "Twenty Flight Rock," and some of his more quintessential guitar [...]
The Vaccines From: London, United Kingdom Not to be confused with their US ( the Vaccines ) or Japanese ( the Vaccines ) cousins Brit rock 'n rollers The Vaccines have the cure for the bubblegum infection that has swept the UK over the summer months. The band include at least one semi famous nu folkie (Justin James Hayward-Young aka Jay Jay Pistolet ) and a relative of one of the best band's to emerge from [...]
Eddie Cochran always had time for the Summertime Blues. Eddie Cochran - Music - Arts - Business - Blues
Brian Setzer, Lee Rocker and Slim Jim Phantom take on "Somethin' Else" by Eddie Cochran - live in Paris, circa '82 or '83. My older bro got to see the Stray Cats live back in the day. They still get together to tour now & then. Next time, I get my rockabilly lovin' arse out there!
The Purple Om Eaters From: London, United Kingdom The Purple Om Eaters are a gang of London based rockers injecting the music scene with a potentially lethal dose of hallucinogenic psychedelia, sunshine pop and garage rock. Like an eclectic musical sponge The Purple Om Eaters have absorbed everything from Eddie Cochran to the MC5 , The Cramps to the Jesus and Mary Chain , The Strokes [...]
In a recent piece about the late Hank Cochran , I mentioned that the veteran singer/songwriter had once formed a rockabilly singing duo with another young performer, Eddie Cochran. Although the two were not related they billed themselves as the 'Cochran Brothers' and did well for a while before going on to separate careers. In Eddie's case, he would emulate a shooting star by flashing brightly but briefly, dying in a car crash at just age 21. Edward Ray Cochran was born in Minnesota but his family moved to California during his teen years, and [...]

Speaking of albums out today, here is Ryan's entry into our storied DANZIG WATCH 2010.

Filed under: News , New Releases Well, now we know what Conan O'Brien and Jack White were up to . The television host has partnered with White's Third Man Records to release a live album featuring his Legally Prohibited Band. Tracked Thursday night during O'Brien's performance at Third Man's facility in Nashville, the label plans to make the disc available "very soon" according to a press release. Presales of the LP, which will count an instrumental rendition of the White Stripes ' classic [...]
