Bob Denton: Playboy (CD)

(Hydra Records) 27 tracks - 20 page booklet

Bob Denton began his musical career in the mid-1950s in a country band with future hit composer Hank Cochran. He introduced him to another friend - Eddie Cochran. This resulted in the Cochran Brothers. Bob Denton continued to play in the clubs of Los Angeles often together with Eddie Cochran.

The two not only had musical things in common, but regularly moved around the clubs, chased girls and went hunting. They became best friends. Eddie Cochran got Bob his first record deal with DOT Records and accompanied him in the studio on the recordings as he did on almost all the others.

The big hit for Bob Denton did not happen, but at least he was able to reach the charts in some local markets, which led to further record releases. They also experimented with stereo recordings in the studio back then, which are released on this CD for the first time. Stylistically between rockabilly, rock & roll and ballads, he served the preferences of local teenagers until he was drafted into the Army.

Eddie Cochran offered to take him on another of his England tours but died before that in a tragic car accident. Bob Denton carried his coffin to the grave. He continued
to make live music into the 2000s. Here are finally all his recordings on one CD

Bob Denton

Bobby Denton (who recorded for TUNE and JUDD and eventually fetched up in politics) has no connection with our man Bob Denton. Born Robert F. Bull in Moline, Illinois in 1935, he migrated to California via Phoenix in 1950. At some point, Eddie Cochran asked to sit in while Denton was playing with a country band, the Shamrock Valley Boys, in Bell Gardens. They became close friends. "We were always doing things together," Denton has said. "Hunting, camping, chasing women and a lot of drinking."

Denton's DOT sessions (1957-8) produced a cover of Dean Beard's On My Mind Again (Eddie Cochran played guitar on it), his version of Wayland Chandler's Playboy and the flip, arguably his best rocker, Skinny Minnie. The last two also feature Joe Maphis on guitar and blind pianist Jimmy Pruett, who shared label credits on Jackie Lee Cochran's Mama, Don't You Think I Know. Denton was drafted in 1958, but recorded with Cochran for CREST while on leave (although the record didn't emerge until 1961), and, after Cochran's death, he recorded for CHANCELLOR (1962). None of this enabled him to sustain a career in music, though.
