Hank Cochran: Sally Was A Good Old Girl (CD)

1-CD with 40-page booklet, 33 tracks. Total playing time c. 79 minutes.

• Hank Cochran is a vocalist, guitar picker and as an esteemed songwriter of numerous hit recordings.

• For many Hank will be known as one-half of the Cochran Brothers along with Eddie Cochran.

• He may be better known from the hit recordings he has created, rather than a recording artist.

• 33 recordings, Hank’s versions of the hits he wrote, songs he covered, both country music and country rockers!

• Also featured are his own recordings of eventually million sellers he penned and other artists made into hits.

• This CD album is also a perfect companion to the Cochran Brothers BCD17565.

Bear Family explore the legacy of Hank Cochran who was always in heart a country artist and after his association with Eddie Cochran ended, returned to his real love country music. Conversely some recordings retained a rockabilly-ish feel and teen beat tempos were also recorded. From his first solo demo session held sometime during 1957, at the Gold Star Recording Studios (where many rock ‘n’ roll recording sessions were held) Hank recorded four songs. ‘Half Of The Time’, ‘Everyone's Laughing’ (both one version) and perhaps better known by Glen Glenn, the mid-tempo rocker ‘Goofin' Around’ (three versions, take 2 and 3 are used) and finally ‘Left Out’ a melodic teen rocker (three versions, take 2 and 3 are used). A vocal technic and style similarity to that of Wynn Stewart should be gained from hearing the first two recordings, and on many of the other shuffle tempo recordings.

Hank returned to ‘ Goofin’ Around’ during a 1958 two song session issued on ‘Dore 508’, here the song is re-worked with saxophone and thrashing drums as a flip to country weeper ‘Don't Apologize’. Harlan Howard another respected country writer penned two teen/country rockers, which were perfect for Hanks melodic voice which fits to the songs like a glove to the hand. From a November 7, 1961 session ‘Has Anybody Seen Me Lately’, and from February 1, 1962 session the often-covered ‘Sally Was A Good Ole Girl’. From Antoon van Olderen discography, the sessions were held in music city USA, Nashville Tennessee! Therefore the inclusion of a song again from the pen of Harlan Howard paying tribute to one of the city’s most famous drinking joints ‘Tootsie's Orchid Lounge’ is more than fitting, and finds Hank more forceful vocally during this drinking ditty.

The main aspect of this album is melodic country music made for people to relax and chill out to, and the majority of the songs feature sweet Nashville style arrangements; harmonious vocal chorus, piano and numerous famous session musicians. Most certainly, Patsy Cline benefited from Hank’s compositions ‘He's Got You’ (with a change to She’s Got You, English songbird Alma Cogan also covered this) and ‘You're Stronger Than Me’ (co-wrote with Jimmy Key) and the hits almost clone Hanks version. Burl Ives, Wanda Jackson, Bing Crosby to name but a few have recorded Hanks ‘A Little Bitty Tear’ and here we can enjoy Hanks melodious version. From the pen of Bob Forsee ‘A Good Country Song’ finds Hank in a relaxed mood on a song which is clearly derived from ‘It Wasn’t God Who Made Honky Tonk Angels’. The novelty of war songs and heroes was still riding high in the charts during 1962 and Rodger Miller offered Hank a song fitting the genre ‘Private John Q’. Most certainly, this album offers a variety of music styles and although country music is the main ingredient, unquestionably there is some cross over material that should interest rockers. For a man who himself only managed three country Billboard positions, this legacy questions his lowly placings in the music charts.

"Hank Cochran"

geb. 2.8. 1935 in Greenville - Mississippigest. 15. Juli 2010 in Nashville Record Labels: Ekko, Monument, Capitol, Liberty, Gaylord, Elektra - Asylum Erster Hit: Sally Was A Good Old Girl (1962) Garland Perry ,Hank Cochran, Liederschreiber und Sänger, machte sich in erster Linie als Lieferant großer Hits für die etablierten Stars einen Namen. Als Interpret seiner eigenen Songs konnte er nur mittleren Erfolg verbuchen. Mit Eddie Cochran (kein Verwandter) hatte er das Duo ,The Cochran Brothers gegründet. Unter seinen bekanntesten Kompositionen findet man Titel wie A Little Bitty Tear, Make The World Go Away und ,Don't Touch Me David Allan Coe, The Mysterious Rhinestone Cowboy, hatte es nicht leicht, als er Mitte der 70er Jahre versuchte, im Country Music Business Fuss zu fassen. Da störten nicht nur die langen Haare und der Ring im Ohr, nein, da störten auch jene motorisierten Rocker, mit denen sich Coe als einer Art Schutztruppe zu umgeben pflegte. ,Zwischen 1948 und 1967 betrug die längste Zeit in der ich nicht im Gefängnis saß, 60 Tage. Dies sagte David Allan Coe einmal einem Reporter. Im Alter von 9 Jahren war er zum ersten Male in eine Besserungsanstalt gekommen. Es folgten längere und kürzere Aufenthalte in Gefängnissen und Zuchthäusern. Während seiner Haft im Staatszuchthaus von Ohio hatte er dann einen Mithäftling umgebracht und war dafür in der Todeszelle gelandet. Einsicht und gute Führung brachten David Allan Coe schließlich 1967 die Freiheit auf Bewährung. Drei Jahre später dann zum ersten Male ein Lichtblick in seinem Leben: Ein Schallplattenvertrag mit Shelby Singleton in Nashville. Das Ergebnis: Eine L.P., die alles andere als Country Music beinhaltete, nein, das war reinster Blues, Zuchthaus Blues. Diese Aufnahmen waren ganz offensichtlich noch unter dem Eindruck seiner Halt entstanden, denn nur noch selten hat Coe später so authentisch geklungen. Mitte der 70er Jahre schwenkte David Allan Coe dann auf Country Music um und pflegte einen Gesangsstil, der an Lefty Frizzell angelehnt war. Er rechnete sich gerne zu den Texas Outlaws, dennoch ist er bis heute ein Einzelgänger geblieben. Seine Platten kommen immer wieder in die Country Charts, manchmal sogar unter die Top Ten. Seine L.P.s verkaufen sich offensichtlich gut. Dennoch stehen ihm auch heute noch viele D.J.s reserviert gegenüber und in Nashville geht ihm so mancher Repräsentant der ,Music City USA gerne aus dem Weg."

From: Good Times On: 27 Mar 2019

Nashville Sound

»Sally Was A Good Old Girl liefert den Hank Cochran, den seine Fans am liebsten hatten. Melodischer Country, der zum Entspannen einlädt, zeittypischer Nashville-Sound mit harmonischem Chorgesang und swingendem Klavier, hervorragend unterstützt von den damals besten Musikern der Szene.« (Good Times, Dezember 2018 / Januar 2019)

Press Archives - Hank Cochran Sally Was A Good Old Girl (CD) - Country Music People

Press Archives - Hank Cochran Sally Was A Good Old Girl (CD) - Country Music People Hank Cochran first recorded as part of a duo in Hollywood with Eddie Cochran, but he moved to Nashville in 1959 and quickly established himself as a 'go to' songwriter, often working with his bar buddy, Harlan Howard. I hesitate to say that this collection features his demo recordings of big hits like A Little Bitty Tear and Funny Way Of Laughin' as they were recorded after Burl Ives had taken them into the charts. It seems likely that Liberty were going to issue an album of his songwriting successes and then changed their mind. Around the same time, Liberty recorded And Then I Wrote with Willie Nelson so they could have been considering a series. This collection includes three songs that Hank had in the US country Top 30 in his own right
