Free Music Notes for Rockabilly Riot 1: A Tribute to Sun Records
Free Music Review: True, But Better
Hit: 5 Stars
This CD is awesome, period. In every instance that I have able to find the original recording of these songs (about half), the Setzer version is better. The feel is pure Sun yet the sound is fuller and Setzer's performance every bit as "raucous" as the originals. Setzer's guitar playing keeps the good parts of the originals and adds his own trademark style. His solo on "Put Your Cat Clothes On" adds to Carl Perkins' original solo (my favorite of Perkins') in a way that's pure genius. Why not just buy a Sun compilation? You can't find more than 7 or 8 of these songs on any one compilation and 8 or 9 of them are available nowhere else. This includes "Peroxide Blonde...", half of which was originally lost. Setzer rewrote the first half of it with the approval of Gene Simmons, the original writer. Simmons also sings harmony on the CD. Further, Brian Setzer is not playing guitar on the originals. This alone makes this CD noteworthy and worth having. Check the universally positive reviews of this CD elsewhere and don't be misled into thinking this CD is anything but the best CD you'll buy this year if you like Rock and Roll the way it should be done.
Rockabilly Riot 1: A Tribute to Sun Records Poster
This is the first of a multi-volume series where Brian will pay tribute to the music that influenced him, and in turn, made him one of the most influential musical figures of the last 25 years. Here are 23 amazing rockabilly songs (some hits, some obscure gems) that helped define an era. Setzer is determined to do whatever it takes to reach as many people as possible so they too can discover the music that has gone underappreciated for too long.Classic Rock Music CDs
