Born and raised in Kentucky, Myles Cochran's childhood was immersed in music:
folk and jazz on his parents' stereo, country and Southern soul on the car radio,
classical in his grandfather's painting studio, and the British Invasion in his
bedroom. When he began playing guitar and writing songs, this experience led him
to his own atmospheric combination of country, folk and rock.
Migrating to New York, Myles played in bands at venues like CBGB and the C Note,
and established himself as an inventive recording engineer and producer. Myles
has recently moved to London. "Being in England is amazing. I'm living in a
place that was important to so many of my favorite artists: Jimi Hendrix,
Emmylou Harris, the Pretenders, PJ Harvey."
In addition to bringing his music to London's live music scene, Myles is working
on his next CD in his "retro-techno" recording studio, where he also engineers
and produces for other singer-songwriters.
Marginal Street is the latest Myles Cochran CD. "I try to make music that
resonates with all the different music I love", Myles says. "Muddy Waters,
George Jones and Paul Simon, just to pick three, are all very important to me.
Marginal Street, of everything I've done, comes the closest for me to putting
all these influences into perspective. And, interestingly enough, I think it's
the the record where I really found my own voice." How might a listener react?
"Marginal Street has a definite mood. Many of the songs are slow, very relaxed.
It's a great record for late on a Saturday night, or early Sunday morning."
