Free Music Notes for Ignition!
Free Music Review: Support Stray Cats solo work!!
Hit: 4 Stars
Setzer leans more towards a Bill Haley 'Rock Around the Clock' sound here rather than a 'return to rockabilly'(on most tracks anyway) but this album is not to be missed for Cats fans - especially for the price used copies are going for.
I also wanted to make mention of Lee Rocker's solo stuff. I notice Lee's solo work has minimal reviews here on Amazon. Not sure if no one is buying or they just don't review it here, but Lee has a GREAT voice and, while not better than Setzer's vocals, I do believe that Lee writes better songs than Setzer. Very adult oriented lyrics and a great hybrid hard rockin' blues-a-billy sound.
Don't get me wrong, I love all The Cats but I hate to see Lee's great work go unnoticed and recommend it highly - especially Bulletproof, Racin' The Devil and Black Cat Bone. Or if you'd just like to sample his sound, check out the Lee Rocker Live, a GREAT recording of some rockin' live cuts. Lee tours alot with the great Brophy Dale on guitar and if you have a chance to catch the show, it's awesome!! Hard blues/rockabilly is what Lee he serves and he serves it smokin' hot with a big, thick, fat, pounding bassline that even Setzer's great band cannot begin to match!!!
I have never heard Slim Jim's solo stuff but he is next on my list. I understand he has put together several bands: Head Cat, 13 Cats and another trio who's name currently escapes me.
So until the next Stray Cats reunion, support rockabilly and dive into their respective solo catalouges and enjoy!!!
Ignition! Poster
Brian Setzer is not what you'd call a forward-looking guy. For this veteran guitarist and vocalist, the question is how far back he directs his attention. After having spent a major chunk of the '90s delving into the jump-blues and swing of the '40s and early '50s, Setzer returns to the revved-up rockabilly that first earned him a following when he fronted the Stray Cats in the early '80s. Originality has never been Setzer's forte and here the inclination to borrow extends to his songwriting: "5 Years, 4 Months, 3 Days" lifts generously from Dave Dudley's trucker anthem "Six Days on the Road" and Heart fans will recognize the riff that ushers in "Hell Bent." Still, Setzer is ideally suited as a player and singer to stand-in for rockabilly pioneers Gene Vincent and Eddie Cochran, which he proves here with the high-energy likes of the title track, "Hot Rod Girl," and, especially, the punky album highlight, "Get 'Em on the Ropes." "I guess I'm behind the times," he sings in "'59." With each album, Setzer confirms that's where he belongs. --Steven StolderAlternative Rock Music CDs
