If you're truly a rock and roll fan you cant hate country. You cant there is a blurred line amongst the genre most likely caused by folk like Elvis.
Rockabilly pretty much sounds like 50's music. Remember The Blasters and The Stray Cats? Fine music for dancing about to. Brian Setzer front guy of the Cats went on to an amazing solo career.. I love his stuff its just fun. No drama no yelling just bass plucking guitar twanging mindless ear candy.
The Brian Setzer Orchestra has won Grammys and the hearts of the masses and with good reason. Music transports and we all want out of this world. Setzer throws you back 50 years.
Word comes out now that hes blending Bluegrass and Jazz. This guy is a musical Vita Mix for Gods sake.
Instru-MENTAL is out now with tracks redone by Setzer.Brian sez:“I didn’t start writing an instrumental record, per se,
“I wrote seven songs with lyrics, and then, all of a sudden, I just took a turn and started fooling around with ‘Blue Moon of Kentucky,’ except without any vocals. I started playing melody chords and thought, ‘Wow, this is pretty cool!’ So the direction turned about halfway through my writing. I had never done an instrumental record, but I thought, well, now’s the time.”
