180g Vinyl Mono Edition!
Wayne Cochran! The exclamation point is there for a reason. Known as The WhiteKnight of Soul, Cochran was flamboyant in both voice and attire. Crowned by aswooping white pompadour, he held back nothing on stage. His performance stylewas very reminiscent of fellow Georgia native Little Richard Penniman. LikePenniman, music led Cochran to his current career as a minister. Anyone whosever witnessed a fire-and-brimstone southern gospel service can see theconnection between gospels passion and R&Bs groove.
Issued by Chess Records in 1967, Wayne Cochran! captured the outrageous energyof his live show within the albums grooves. This explosive collection of songsproved that Cochran deserved to share the label home of R&B greats like EttaJames, Howlin Wolf and Muddy Waters. Rather than a traditional artist portrait,the front cover features an outline of his white pompadour against a blackbackground. Simple and direct, it stood in stark relief against the sea of day-glo,psychedelic imagery of the day. To put it another way, the cover art clearlyconveyed that this album was all killer, no filler.
