@highstreetrock: Few records capture teenage frustration quite like “Summertime Blues.” Released in 1958, Eddie Cochran’s “Summertime Blues” turned the complaints of a working teenager into one of the defining records of early American rock and roll. Written by Cochran and his manager Jerry Capehart, the song paired a driving rockabilly beat with Cochran’s sharp electric guitar and a lyric about work, parents, money, and having absolutely no say in the matter. That focus on youthful frustration was central to 1950s rock and roll, and the Library of Congress specifically cites “Summertime Blues” as an example of how the new music spoke directly to teenage life. Cochran became one of the era’s major rockabilly artists, and his recordings helped carry the sound of American rock and roll well beyond the 1950s. “Summertime Blues” is exactly the kind of classic 1950s rock and roll that Richie and the High Street Rockers love bringing back to the stage. More than six decades later, it still has the guitar sound, attitude, and energy that made early rock music feel dangerous and exciting in the first place. Which version of “Summertime Blues” do you remember best? Tell us in the comments and share this with somebody who still loves the old rock and roll records. #EddieCochran #1950smusic #50smusic #doowop #coversong
