Eddie teamed up with Hank Cochran (unrelated), playing dance halls, fairs and schools. They later called themselves "The Cochran Brothers" touring the south-western states and appearing on the California Hayride show. They recorded two hillbilly records with Ekko Records in 1955 and did a promotional tour, meeting Elvis Presley on the Dallas Big D Jamboree show. The duo auditioned for Sun Records in Memphis but split up shortly after making "Fool's Paradise", their third recording on Ekko and a song that shows a strong Presley influence, assisted by the co-writing of Jerry Capehart.
