Summertime Blues originally was a song by Eddie Cochran, but made famous by Blue Cheer. As a tribute to their bassist and lead singer Dickie Peterson, who died today, you can find some versions by The Who, T-Rex, Eddie Cochran, Rush, Bruce Springsteen and of course Blue Cheer over here.

Bassist and singer Dickie Peterson of heavy riffmachine Blue Cheer past away this morning at 5am in Germany. Blue Cheer was one of the first powertrio’s in rock-‘n’-roll and laid a blueprint of heavy metal/stoner with Vincebus Eruptum and Outsideinside in 1968. They were of great influence for bands such as Monster Magnet, Fu Manchu and Alabama Thunderpussy.

The cause of Peterson’s death is still unknown. He was 61 years old.
