@Antoine Gordon that's funny. I'm 53. I'd say the same thing about a Pat Metheny or an Elliott Easton, etc etc. Sadly the "artists" that get the most recognition are people like Taylor Swift or Cardi B. Settle down.
Known Brian for 45+ years, I might be a bit biased but he is definately one of the best guitarist ever, seen hundreds of his shows on Long Island before he was known, he still makes it look so easy ! Massapequa’s finest !!
Me too. The moment I heard him do stray cat strut, I was owned. Had the privilege of meeting him at a car show in California many moons ago. A true gent, and gifted doesn’t even come close to describing him. Go look at him play Blue Moon of Kentucky on you tube. (The one with the blue background). Blew me away. It took me an hour to recover!
@@dannypembroke2372 Ive loved every incarnation of The Stray Cats, Brian Setzer (with and without) Orchestra the way he handles that Gretsch is amazing and of course Phantom Rocker and Slick!
Back in '82 he was living in Holland Park, London riding round on his black Panhead chop (on album cover), I met up with him on my old red Shovel Electra and we went to a rock n roll cafe down the A40 (it was called The Ace but not the real one, now restored) - no prima donna, no celeb, just a regular bloke into his Harleys. Hope he still has one, had little idea back then just what a gifted guitarist he was. In the words of Eddie Cochran...cherished memories.
This might be a picture of it here. i.pinimg.com/originals/f2/8e/8f/f28e8fe8ec46e87ddfda75cd61ff781a.jpg He has a a lot of bikes, including a sweet red custom built Triumph
[Verse 1] I hear the train a-comin', it's rolling 'round the bend And I ain't seen the sunshine since I don't know when I'm stuck in Folsom prison, and time keeps draggin' on But that train keeps a-rollin' on down to San Antone [Verse 2] When I was just a baby, my mama told me, "Son Always be a good boy, don't ever play with guns" But I shot a man in Reno just to watch him die When I hear that whistle blowin', I hang my head and cry [Verse 3] I bet there's rich folks eatin' in a fancy dining car They're probably drinkin' coffee and smoking big cigars Well, I know I had it coming, I know I can't be free But those people keep a-movin', and that's what tortures me [Verse 4] Well, if they freed me from this prison, if that railroad train was mine I bet I'd move it on a little farther down the line Far from Folsom prison, that's where I want to stay And I'd let that lonesome whistle blow my blues away
Lemme tell ya. Rockabilly is a hell of a lot harder to play than a lot of other genres. Played Prog for ages. it's garbage compared to the likes of Setzer, gene Vincent, Junior brown etc.
