Wayne Cochran - Wayne Cochran - Rock - Vinyl

Signed by Chess, Cochran and the Riders released their first LP in 1967. Produced by Abner Spector with sessions at Miami's Criteria Studios and Muscle Shoals' Fame Studios, the cleverly-titled "Wayne Cochran" offered up a mix of popular R&B and soul songs which apparently served as a reflection of the group's live act. To be honest, if you were looking for something original and ground breaking, this wasn't the place to start. While Cochran's performances were quite energetic (having one of the era's tightest backing bands certainly didn't hurt), none of the twelve arrangements strayed far from the originals. I'm guessing that most of the things that supposedly made these guys such a killer live act simply couldn't be replicated on vinyl - not to imply that the collection was bad. It wasn't. Individually most of the songs were quite good, but it you were familiar with the originals, stripped of Cochran's in-concert craziness, they simply couldn't compete.
