Story & Background
"Singin' to My Baby", Eddie Cochran's 1958 debut album, released in the UK by the London label (counterpart to the American Liberty Records), offers a fascinating and often overlooked insight into early record marketing strategies. Although Cochran is universally remembered as a rockabilly pioneer and the author of rebellious anthems like "Summertime Blues" (which was released as a single in the same year), this album presented a surprisingly "softer" and more versatile side of the artist. Liberty, in fact, aimed to present him to the widest possible audience, including country-pop ballads and teen-oriented tracks on the record, far removed from the rawer and more revolutionary sound that would make him legendary. This initial stylistic choice, almost a recording experiment for an artist still nineteen years old, reveals how the majors sought to shape the image of emerging artists, before the wave of rock'n'roll definitively swept them away. A valuable sonic document that captures Eddie Cochran in the limbo between his country roots and his future, dazzling, rock legend.
