Members Robman2 Posted March 16, 2006 Members Share Posted March 16, 2006 WOW, They hadn't been out since before the holidays...but Brian is really a great player, and manages to head the genre'. He was at Ray Kennedy's place a few weeks ago, working with a trio from Sweden, and writing and stuff, with Ray. I herad he will be doing a new record later this spring. He's a great showman, bassman tweed and an older echo machine, grounding jack 30 foot cable and a 50's looking orange Gretsch... GREAT set...

Members Dylan Walters Posted March 16, 2006 Members Share Posted March 16, 2006 Brian Setzer is the man, IMO. I was totally into the whole rockabilly thing back in high school and Brian was my idol. I saw him play with his orchestra at the Mt. Hood Jazz Festival here in Portland a few years ago and it was fantastic! That reminds me that I need to find my Stray Cats 'Choo Choo Hot Fish' CD. There are some fantastic songs on that album including a beautiful version of 'Sleepwalk'. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Space Echo. The whole band is great. And my friend Richard commented that the background singers appeared to have graduated from Attitude School.... we were drooling....

Members Kendrix Posted March 16, 2006 Members Share Posted March 16, 2006 And he is so earnestly into the 50's thing- its actually his real self. I also love him cause he's increased the value of my 1967 Orange Gretsch Chet Atkins Nashville by at least a few thou. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
