Blue Jean Bop - Gene Vincent

Advantages: More than I can count
Disadvantages: Not even one

...and album called Rock and Roll in the late 70s whilst Paul released CHOBA B CCCP, more commonly known as the Russian Album in 1988 Run Devil Run starts off With Blue Jean Bop, Released in 1956 by Gene Vincent, known most for the song Be Bop A Lulu. This is a very typical 5os backbeat and a good number to start the album up with. She Said Yeah, Written by Larry Williams, who was famous for the song Bony Maronie. Like most of these songs they are 12 bar blues type. Very enjoyable but as most rock and roll songs they deal with music, women and loneliness. I am a fan of most music, but in particular Elvis, Dylan and Beatles. These include folk-rock (if you want to call it that) pop, rock, country, and dance. She Said Yeah is a good song.

...Cochran with “Summertime Blues.” Eddie was a dynamic guitar player and this song is one of the best. Also on the album is one of my favourites,”Three Steps To Heaven.”Eddie was tragically killed in April 1960 when the cab he was in crashed in Chippenham, Wiltshire.Also in the cab was Eddie’s girlfriend Sharon Sheeley and singer Gene Vincent, both of whom escaped with their lives (although Vincent suffered serious leg injuries.)
