About this episode

This episode explores the contributions of Eddie Cochran to the rock genre as part of the Heroes of Rock Series.

The Heroes of Rock Series examines contributors to the far reaching genre of rock. From pioneers to Superstars, little-known artists to trailblazers, one thing unites these heroes: They had the Rock inside them and they found a way to let it out. Today: Eddie Cochran.
