Bob Denton began his musical career in the mid-1950s in a country band with Hank Cochran.
He introduced him to another friend - Eddie Cochran, and this resulted in the Cochran Brothers.
Bob Denton continued to play the clubs of Los Angeles, often together with Eddie Cochran.
The two not only had music in common, but regularly moved around the clubs, chased girls and went hunting.
They became best friends, and Eddie Cochran got Bob his first record deal with DOT Records and accompanied him in the studio on the recordings, as he did on almost all the others.
The big hit for Bob Denton didn't happen, but he was able to reach the charts in some local markets, which led to further record releases.
They also experimented with stereo recordings in the studio back then, which are released on this CD for the first time.
Stylistically between rockabilly and rock 'n' roll, he served the preferences of local teenagers until he was drafted into the Army.
Eddie Cochran offered to take him on a future tour of England, but died in that tragic car accident before this happenned.
Bob Denton carried Eddie's coffin to the grave, and he continued to perform music into the 2000s.
Here are all his recordings finally presented on one CD.
