Originally released as a single in July 1959, "Somethin' Else" showcases Cochran's signature blend of rockabilly and blues, becoming one of his most enduring tracks.
- The B-side of the single was "Think of Me When You're Lonely."
- The song features a prominent, driving guitar riff and a strong backbeat, characteristic of Cochran's late-career sound.
- Though not a major US chart hit in its original release, "Somethin' Else" gained significant popularity posthumously and is now considered a rock and roll classic.
Eddie Cochran was an American rock and roll pioneer from Minnesota whose recording career lasted only four years, from 1955 until his death in 1960. He is best known for "Summertime Blues" and "C'mon Everybody." In 1959, Cochran was a rising international star, particularly in the UK, where his singles and album releases were more frequent than in the US.
