Jackie Lee Cochran
Jackie Lee Cochran was born in Dalton, Georgia, and was raised in Louisiana and Texas, where he was inspired by many of the same country musicians he heard on the radio. Jackie Lee Cochran was lured to California and Los Angeles in the mid-1950's, where he became a featured act on Cliffie Stone's 'Hometown Jamboree', working with some of Cliffie's and Spade Cooley's great musicians. This show in the early years brought Mitchell Torok, Jim Reeves and Johnny Horton to Southern California. Jackie Lee Cochran performed regularly with some of the musicians at Marty Landau's famous 'Riverside Rancho' nightclub in Burbank. Cliffie produced for him a session to be released by Decca Records. Jackie Lee Cochran's 'Ruby Pearl' disc featured blind pianist Jimmie Pruett, Cliffie on bass, and although 'The Cat' needed no training on electric guitar solos, he was overjoyed and proud to have 'the master', Merle Travis, playing lead. Although Merle said, 'I could never play Rock and Roll very well', and he shied away from it on recording sessions, his break on 'Mama, Don't You Think I Know?' is one of the fastest and most interesting ever heard on record. Jackie Lee Cochran was proud of his Red Indian ancestery, and in later years adopted the name 'Waukeen'. He also made a pretty good album with some excellent songs for Ronny Weiser's 'Rollin' Rock' label in the Seventies.
