C'mon Everybody

Raw 1950s rebellion captured through overdriven Gretsch guitars and slapback echo. These sixteen tracks define the restless, loud energy of early rock and roll.

C'mon Everybody is a high-voltage transmission from the birth of teenage rebellion. It sounds like the heat of a mid-August afternoon and the smell of motor oil and hair pomade. Eddie Cochran did not just play rock and roll; he engineered its attitude. The album is anchored by the growl of his Gretsch 6120, an instrument he pushed into overdriven territories that would later inspire the likes of Pete Townshend and Brian Setzer. Every track is infused with a sense of urgency, as if the songs themselves are trying to outrun the clock.
