Description: Ever wish you'd seen Wayne Cochrane & His C.C. Riders perform live? I do. And if I had, I would definitely had gotten a souvenir tour shirt to remember it by. This is a recreation of an awesome shirt that promoted a 1970s show. Cochran was soul singer popular in the 60s and 70s with a performance style that was nearly identical to the other soul godfather, Mr. JB. Cochran wrote the song "Last Kiss" and appeared in the 1970 biker film, C.C. and Company. Oh yeah, he had the most amazing hair you've ever seen, too.
Description: Two words. That's the whole argument. "Burning Love" is one of Elvis's most ferocious recordings — a song that doesn't negotiate, doesn't slow down, doesn't explain itself. This typographic design takes that title and renders it in red on white: clean, direct, nothing to distract from the weight of the phrase. Some titles work on their own. This is one of them. It doesn't need context. It is the context.
