Free Music Review: Setzer's missed the point !
Hit: 2 Stars
Well, I'm a big Brian's fan! Maybe the biggest one around ! Just for the record, I'm from Brazil! Ok,I used to say " everything setzer does is fine, very good ". That 's allowed me to say Setzer's is now missed in multicolored suits and guitars and fancy " wigs ". The firt 3 BSO albuns are stupendous. Stray cats is off record! But some annoying swingin everything ( I love swing music, BBVD and others!) christmas songs, santa claus blablabla... and now this : ok , he's one of the most talented guitar players in action, the arrangements are more than well done but....maybe three or four songs, 'd be ok but a whole album...He`s already a great artist and this 'd not change, not because one album, but a back in the roots and some simplicity 'd do some good. Hey, from a true fan! cheers
Wolfgang's Big Night Out Poster
Sure, a dozen swinging, rocking Setzer-ized tunes inspired by the most popular themes in classical music seems a little silly--but it also sounds great. As the ex-Stray Cats guitarist blazes his way across the fretboards, Beethoven's Symphony No. 5 becomes "Take the 5th," and Grieg's "Hall of the Mountain King" morphs into "One More Night with You," complete with lyrics that lust both for the joy of rock and the chorus of colleens who sing along with Setzer. The horns play foil to Setzer's ebullient six-string antics, which zing with humor and virtuosity, archly taking on Mozart's "Eine Kleine Nachtmusik," transformed into the finger-popping title track, or rippling through the finger-busting cartoon-speed solos of "Honey Man," a rockabilly rave-up based on Rimsky-Korsakov's "Flight of the Bumblebee." Guitar buffs will also appreciate the variety of tones Setzer employs. He's trad-jazz clean in "1812 Overdrive," rabidly surfy for Khachaturian's "Sabre Dance," and sweetly pure on nylon-string guitar in "For Lisa," his gypsy swing twist on Beethoven's "F?r Elise." This may be a lowbrow take on highbrow music, but Setzer keeps his standard lofty, and the results are a blast. --Ted DrozdowskiTake the biggest hit songs on the planet, add some rockin' swing, scorching electric guitar, put it into a blender with an 18-piece Big Band and you have something pretty mind-blowing. Classical music is the fertile ground of the greatest melodies ever written, and you will know every single one on this CD (even if you don't recognize the titles). As great as these classical melodies are, however, when presented in their original context among long and drawn out movements, they're often very hard for most people to digest. As a result, the majority of music fans don't own any of it. With Wolfgang's Big Night Out Setzer has embarked on the most ambitious undertaking of his career in re-arranging and orchestrating these classical pieces into streamlined hit melodies that are nothing short of WOW!
