Cliff Cochran "Love Me Like A Stranger" Single Of The Day

Greetings from Asheville, where good music is always on the turntable.  Hank Cochran is, of course, one of the most famous songwriters in country music history, having written classics such as “Don’t Touch Me” and “Make The World Go Away”.  Not as well known, in fact, almost forgotten, now, is Hank’s cousin, Cliff.

Cliff Cochran, a Mississippi native, was a singer who made a brief foray onto the country 40 with a pair of singles in 1979, for RCA.  Today’s Single Of The Day, was the first and most successful of the two.  ”Love Me Like A Stranger” appeared in June, and would eventually peak just inside the Country 25.  A fast-moving piece of Country-pop, it’s got a great hook and very catchy melody that is hard not to like.  One of my favorite “almost hits”, as we like to call them on the Ultimate Twang Radio Show.

Saving vinyl, one record at a time.
