Originally a single B-side, it was released in August 1958[1] and peaked at number 8 on the Billboard Hot 100 on September 29, 1958 and number 18 on the UK Singles Chart. It has been covered by many artists, including being a number-one hit for country music artist Alan Jackson, and scoring notable hits in versions by The Who, Blue Cheer and Brian Setzer, the last of whom recorded his version for the 1987 film La Bamba, where he portrayed Cochran. Jimi Hendrix performed it in concert.[3][4][5][6] LyricsThe song is about the struggle between a teenager and his parents, his boss and his congressman.[7] Eddie Cochran version"Summertime Blues" was recorded on March 28, 1958 at Gold Star Recording Studios in Hollywood, California. Eddie Cochran sang both the vocal and bass vocal (the “work-a-late” portions, Cochran's tribute to the Kingfish character from the Amos and Andy television series), played all the guitar parts, and added the hand clapping with possibly Sharon Sheeley. Connie 'Guybo' Smith played the electric bass and Earl Palmer drums. LegacyThe 1958 Liberty Records single by Eddie Cochran was inducted into the Grammy Hall of Fame in 1999 and the song is ranked number 73 in Rolling Stone's 500 Greatest Songs of All Time. In March 2005, Q magazine placed it at number 77 in its list of the 100 Greatest Guitar Tracks.[8] The song is also on the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and Museum list of "The Songs That Shaped Rock and Roll".[9] The song appears on the soundtrack for the movie Caddyshack, as well as opening season 4 of Beverly Hills, 90210.

The Beach Boys version{{Infobox song| name = Summertime Blues | artist = the Beach Boys | album = Surfin' Safari | released = {{Start date|1962|10|01}} | length = {{Duration|m=2|s=09}} | writer =
| label = Capitol | producer = Nik Venet }} Recorded four years after the Eddie Cochran original (and some two years after his death), the Beach Boys paid tribute to him on their first album, Surfin' Safari, released October 1962. Lead vocal on the track was jointly sung by lead guitarist Carl Wilson, who was not yet 16, and rhythm guitarist David Marks, who had just turned 14. Never released as a single in the US, it gained enough popularity in the Philippines early in 1966 to post no. 7 on that country's hit parade as listed by Billboard in its weekly 'Hits of the World' charts.{{citation needed|date=September 2018}} Johnny Chester versionAustralian rock'n'roll singer Johnny Chester cited Cochran as one of his idols and had used the track when rehearsing his first band in 1959.[13] Chester released his cover version on W&G Records in 1962 and was backed on the recording by local instrumental group, The Chessmen, with Bert Stacpool on piano; his brother Les Stacpool on guitar; Frank McMahon on bass guitar; and Graeme Trottman on drums.[14] In December it peaked at No. 30 on the Kent Music Report.[15][16] Blue Cheer version{{Infobox song| name = Summertime Blues | cover = Blue Cheer Summertime Blues.png | alt = | border = yes | caption = Netherlands single picture sleeve, 1968 | type = single | artist = Blue Cheer | album = Vincebus Eruptum | B-side = Out of Focus | released = 1968 | format = 7-inch single | recorded = 1967 | studio = | genre =

| producer = Abe "Voco" Kesh | prev_title = | prev_year = | next_title = Just a Little Bit | next_year = 1968 }} The American rock band Blue Cheer recorded their version of "Summertime Blues" in 1967 and included it on their 1968 release entitled Vincebus Eruptum. The single peaked at #14 on the Billboard Hot 100, pushing the sales of the album even higher to #11.[19] It topped the Dutch charts for one week in 1968.[20] While not as widely played or recognized as The Who's version, it certainly is more distorted. This version was ranked #73 on the list of "The 100 Greatest Guitar Songs of All Time" of Rolling Stone.[21] This version omits the responses and instead has each band member do a quick "solo". A portion of Blue Cheer's version appears in the movie Troll. This was the first heavy metal song to ever make the pop charts, beating both Steppenwolf's "Born to Be Wild" and Iron Butterfly's "In-A-Gadda-Da-Vida" by months. Rush did a cover of this version for their Feedback EP. Rush frontman Geddy Lee cites Blue Cheer as the first heavy metal band. The main riff from Jimi Hendrix's "Foxy Lady" has been inserted in various parts of this version. Chart performance
The Who version{{Infobox song| name = Summertime Blues | cover = SummertimeBlues45.jpg | alt = | border = yes | caption = German single picture sleeve, 1970 | type = single | artist = The Who | album = Live at Leeds | B-side = Heaven and Hell | released = {{Start date|1970|06}} | format = 7-inch single | recorded = February 14, 1970 | studio = | venue = University Refectory, Leeds, UK | genre = Hard rock[24] | length = {{Duration|m=3|s=22}} | label =
| writer =
| producer = The Who | prev_title = The Seeker | prev_year = 1970 | next_title = See Me, Feel Me | next_year = 1970 }} The Who played "Summertime Blues" as a staple of their concerts from their early days up to 1976, with intermittent appearances thereafter. It has not been played since the death of bassist John Entwistle in 2002. It was performed during the 1967 US tour, from which the first known Who recordings of the song were made, including a June 1967 date at the Monterey Pop Festival. The first version to be released by The Who appeared on the 1970 album Live at Leeds. The single from this album peaked at number 38 in the UK and number 27 in the US.[25] Studio versionThe Who recorded at least two studio versions of this track in 1967. They were left unreleased until 1998 and 2009, when they appeared on the remastered CD of Odds & Sods and the Deluxe Edition of The Who Sell Out respectively. Other live versions from the Who are featured in the Monterey Pop Festival CD box set and the concert and documentary film Woodstock (1970), as well as Live at the Isle of Wight Festival 1970 and the CD release of Live at the Royal Albert Hall. Critical receptionBillboard magazine reviewed the song favorably, saying that The Who gave it a "wild updating" and was "certain to put them right up there at the top."[26]Chart performance
T. Rex versionT. Rex recorded the song in 1970, using it as a standalone B-side to their breakthrough "Ride a White Swan" single. Further, "Summertime Blues" was frequently performed at T. Rex concerts from 1970 to 1972. Unlike the acoustic studio version, live performances of the song were always with electric guitars, as was the December 1970 version recorded for BBC Radio 1. Mick Farren versionMick Farren, former lead singer of The Deviants recorded the song in December 1969, releasing it on his 1970 solo album Mona – The Carnivorous CircusAlan Jackson version{{Infobox song| name = Summertime Blues | cover = Summertime blues.jpg | alt = | type = single | artist = Alan Jackson | album = Who I Am | B-side = Hole in the Wall | released = {{Start date|1994|06|06}} | format = CD Single | recorded = January 11, 1994[29] | studio = | venue = | genre = Country | length = 3:11 (album version) | label = Arista Nashville | writer =
| producer = Keith Stegall | prev_title = (Who Says) You Can't Have It All | prev_year = 1994 | next_title = Livin' on Love | next_year = 1994 }} American country music artist Alan Jackson recorded the song for his 1994 album, Who I Am. It was released in June 1994 as the lead single from the album and the song reached Number One on the U.S. Billboard Hot Country Singles & Tracks chart and number 4 on the Bubbling Under Hot 100 (equivalent to number 104 on the Billboard Hot 100). Jackson said that he was inspired by Buck Owens' version.[29] Critical receptionDeborah Evans Price of Billboard magazine reviewed the song favorably, saying that Jackson "gives the oft-covered Eddie Cochran oldie the full, twangy 'Chattahoochee' treatment." She goes on to say that "until the vocal starts, you may not know which song you're listening to. But who cares?" She says that with his "signature laid-back vocal style, the long, tall Georgian turns this '50s teen anthem into a '90s country classic."[30] Kevin John Coyne of Country Universe reviewed the song unfavorably, saying that Jackson blatantly attempted to recreate the "Chattahoochee" phenomenon. He goes on to say that the "charm of the Eddie Cochran original is lost by forcing those country line-dance beats into the backing track."[31] Music VideoThe video was directed by Michael Salomon and was released in June 1994. It features Jackson mud bogging in a pickup truck and playing guitar in a field. Chart positions"Summertime Blues" debuted at number 53 on the US Billboard Hot Country Singles & Tracks for the week of June 18, 1994.
