Love the Stray Cats. They brought back the style of early rockabilly like the greats used to do (Buddy Holly, Eddie Cochran & Gene Vincent). This is happy music with a catchy beat that gets you moving. Lots of great songs such as "Stray Cat Strut", "(She's) Sexy + 17", "Look At That Cadillac", "I Won't Stand In Your Way", "Bring It Back Again" & "Rock This Town". I think Brian Setzer made a cameo appearance as Eddie Cochran in the film "La Bamba" (life story of Ritchie Valens).

These Cats were LIT to see live. It was the darndest thing too...they didn't compete with the tech, or the expensive instruments, massive light shows or other gimmicks that others were using at the time. They simply came out with a small drum kit, and upright bass, and an electric guitar and rocked your socks off. A couple of faves were "Sexy and 17" and "Rev It Up And Go."

@jamiemcpherson5068 2 года назад

The Stray Cats led the Rockabilly revival in the 1980's, that still is very popular today. Rockabilly is the original Rock and Roll, with people like Johnny Cash, Carl Perkins, Eddie Cochran, Elvis Presley and Wanda Jackson etc. Rockabilly is a cross between rock and roll and Hillbilly. Today there are heaps of band and sub genres such as psychobilly. You must check out the Reverend Hortan Heat, The Cramps, Imelda May, Tiger Army, The Hillbilly Moon Explosion, Horrorpops, Nekromantix and The Meteors, just to name a few.

Brian Setzer is a killer guitarist and Stray Cats were bringing a modern form of Rockabilly to a new generation. Robert Gordon was in the same vein, more directly influenced by Elvis. And if you really like weird...I highly recommend Tom Waits doing his track 'Chocolate Jesus' on the David Letterman show. It really doesn't get much more creative than that!

I absolutely love the Stray Cats. I've have several of their albums. You guys definitely need to listen to more of their music. This type of music is considered "Rockabilly." This is the same sound that the Beatles started out with in Liverpool. They are harking back to that time period. The idea of a song based on the perspective of a male stray cat, juxtaposed to a young human male, is definitely intriguing. He "has cat class" and "has cat style."

The settings are perfect way to remember the lengths we went to love and stay connected to the one we love. Brian Setlzer also fuses the full orchestra to the sound with the remake of the Louis Prima swing number, JUMP, JIVE, AND WAIL. They didn't last long but made an impression while there were here.

The Stray Cats led the 50's revival in the 80's. Their style is usually called rockabilly. They're a great dance band - it's hard to keep still when they're doing their thing. (There was a 50's revival in the early 70's as well, led by the band Sha Na Na. That revival resulted in George Lucas's film "American Graffiti", which in turn led to the TV series "Happy Days", a massive hit for years.)

I was in high school from 1979 to 1983. When these guys originally first broke. Out of Massapequa Long Island New York. I grew up in Hicksville Long Island New York. Which just happened to be the hometown of Billy Joel. But these guys started to make a name for themselves only about 20 minutes or so from where I grew up as a kid in New York. They sort of piggybacked on the new wave sound of the early 80's.

Brian Setzer (the lead singer/guitarist) is amazingly talented! He also had another huge hit in the 90's with the Brian Setzer Orchestra, called "Jump Jive & Wail."

Brian Setzer is an excellent guitarist. The whole band is top of the line. They are a combination of swing and rockabilly.

I played this and "I Won't Stand In Your Way" for my grandparents years ago. They sarcastically played me "Paper Doll" by The Mills Bros.... So began my exploration of their records. There's a great live black and white cut on RU-vid! It may be an old Lawrence Welk Show appearance.🪗 Their delivery and sound are same style 20+years apart. Loving channel! 🪂

Rockabilly for the win! Rock This Town is a great one too. Love it!

I'm surprised you didn't bring up how great that guy was playing the guitar. It was clean and crisp and never missed a note. As a guitarist, all I can say is bravo.

I love this whole “album” and the video is great also. I actually sing this to my cat (yea I’m weird)

It's Rockabilly, throwing back to the early/mid '50s. Stray Cats & this song sparked a BIG trend & revival in the 80s.

Brian Setzer is a GOAT for rock a billy guitar. His concerts are great and cover a lot of styles. He expanded to Brian Setzer Orchestra (with the original drummer and bass player from the trio in the big band) Worth every penny to see them live.

I think you guys will love the smoothness of "Be-Bop-A-Lula". You have to admit that Brian Setzer and his buddies are great musicians. Also try "Gene And Eddy"... try and get the live version. Then you'll surely be smilin' checking out "Rockabilly Rules"... a faster tempo tune that might get you up off your chairs.

Great reaction! I love seeing the both of you really enjoying a new song. Stay open minded. You guys rock! And the standing bass was an awesome choice. Very unique. Rock This Town trust me xoxoxo

THIS is Brian Setzer, he writes the songs, he sings the songs and he is a guitar virtuoso. He is your rockabilly go to guy. To really get a feel for how unbelievable he is on guitar, I urge you check out Brian Setzer- Mystery Train. Just Brian, his big ole Gretsch guitar and mind blowing talent. Cheers!
