    I love Brian’s old interviews with or without the rest of the StrayCats. I remember watching him on MTV as a kid in junior high and thinking what the hell is this guy thinking of? I couldn’t believe a band in the 80’s could make it playing 50’s style music even though I loved the StrayCats at the time. I’m glad he stuck with it and has given us all of that great music over the years.

    This interview was conducted when I was 12 years old, and just about the same time that I first heard the Stray Cats. The first album I listened to was "Rant and Rave with the Stray Cats", and I've been hooked ever since. I FINALLY got to see Brian Setzer live in concert 2 days ago (December 1st, 2014) in Williamsport, PA for his "Big Christmas Extravaganza" tour, and it was worth the wait. Brian is one hell of a showman, and he loves playing to the crowd.

    Funny, even back in '84, with Brian Setzer of all people, the rockabilly purists were telling him he wasn't "pure" enough. If they had had their way, rockabilly would never have evolved at all. And I've heard that my whole life as well, from the purists that exist in every music genre (and usually not for the better).

    Yeh and I thought setzer was a rockabilly influenced by the Beatles w t f did that have to do with rockabilly and rocknroll they were a groupy pop band the influence of the Beatles using the gretch country gentleman came from chett Atkins and I use to be a fan of the stray cats in the 80s thank heavens I grew up and moved on to country but still play in my own rockabilly band but 👏to him for ripping off a lot of Cochrane and chetts licks 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🥃

    • @janalva171
      @janalva171 Рік тому

      as it happens, the Beatles and lots of other English bands of the time were influenced by rockabilly artists like Vincent, Cochrane (and Chet). Early Beatles included "Honey Don't", "Everybody's Trying to be my Baby" and "Matchbox". I'm not sure if, in your first sentence, you are putting the Beatles down or the Stray Cats, but it doesn't really matter (and by the way, it's GRETSCH, not "Gretch"). It feels like you are one of the people Setzer talks about when he says that purists complain that he's not pure enough. And that's ok, too. Yeah, he took what he heard in rockabilly and mixed some other stuff in (rockabilly already being a wild junk-yard dog blend of *stuff*), like punk and upping the jazz quotient. Brian Setzer is an incredible musician who can play in any genre you set him into. He may be at heart a 'rock n roll guy' but he's got the instincts, chops and genius of improvisational jazz cats. It's great that you love country and have your own rockabilly band, but I kind of have to wonder at the harshness of your assessment. Can you honestly say you've never ripped off a lick? Or is that called "homage"?
