One of the most successful songwriters in country music, Hank Cochran was also a treasured mentor to artists such as Willie and Merle. His cut-to-the-heart lyrics and simple but indelible melodies helped his songs -- and the artists who recorded them -- cross over to unprecedented pop-chart success.
"If I had to dream up somebody like Hank to influence songwriters, I couldn't have done a better job," says Jamey. "That's what he was -- not just for me, but for Willie and for a lot of people -- just a helpful friend. If he knew you needed help with something, he could help you. He was there. And that's what I want to be for the people in my life, same as Hank. He influenced me, not only as an artist and songwriter, but also as a person."
Hank Cochran's impressive catalog of songs includes such standards as "I Fall to Pieces," and "She's Got You," both hits for Patsy Cline; "Make the World Go Away," a crossover smash for Eddy Arnold and "The Chair" and "Ocean Front Property," two of George Strait's greatest successes. Other artists who recorded his songs include George Jones, Elvis Presley, Elvis Costello, Ray Price, Ronnie Milsap, Jim Reeves and many others.
Livin' for a Song: A Tribute to Hank Cochran will also be out on vinyl Sept. 25. Jamey's new project is the follow-up to The Guitar Song, his Grammy-nominated 2010 album.
