Most of the tunes here are jumping rockabilly numbers that will bring a shiver of delight to nostalgic Stray Cats fans. On "5 Years, 4 Months, 3 Days", Setzer even employs a narrative approach that compares admirably to Dave Alvin's work with the Blasters. The only times the album falters are when Setzer tries to stretch the mold too far, as on the introspective "'59" or the faux-Mexican "Santa Rosa Rita". But those gaffes are quickly forgotten in the face of chargers like "Who Could Love This Car But Me" (co-written with none other than Joe Strummer) and the punchy "Get 'Em on the Ropes", which achieves an admirable synthesis of Carl Perkins, the Ramones, and NRBQ.

The Brian Setzer Orchestra - Boogie Woogie Christmas (2002)

...He wears a pompadour, hangs around with jazz musicians, and "vintage" may as well be his middle name, but Brian Setzer is a retro-king who now brings a jump-blues sensibility to the holiday of ole St. Nick with BOOGIE WOOGIE CHRISTMAS. Setzer's clearly having fun tearing into Elvis's perennial "Blue Christmas" and does equally well pumping up warhorses like "Jingle Bells" and "Winter Wonderland" as well as digging up the Leiber-Stoller nugget "Santa Claus Is Back In Town". Anther nod to Presley comes via the recruitment of EP's film co-star Ann-Margret for a seductive reading of "Baby It's Cold Outside". Equally impressive is the range this Long Island native shows, whether utilizing an arrangement of Tchaikovsky's "Nutcracker Suite" influenced by Les Brown and his Band of Renown, or the cool jazz vibe dripping off the self-penned "So They Say It's Christmas". After all the high-flying heroics, Setzer ends on a calm note with a one-two punch of "O Holy Night" and an a cappella rendition of the traditional "The Amens", both of which would have fit perfectly on one of the King's reverential gospel albums...

Tracklist:

01. Jingle Bells
02. Boogie Woogie Santa Claus
03. Winter Wonderland
04. Blue Christmas
05. Santa Claus Is Back In Town
06. Baby It's Cold Outside (Duet with Ann-Margret)
07. The Nutcracker Suite
08. (Everybody's Waitin' For) The Man With The Bag
09. Sleigh Ride
10. So They Say It's Christmas
11. O Holy Night
12. The Amens

"The Nutcracker Suite" was nominated for the 2004 Grammy Award for Best Pop Instrumental Performance.

Brian Setzer - Nitro Burnin' Funny Daddy (2003)

After retreating to his big-band persona for 2002's Boogie Woogie Christmas, Setzer drops the horns for a leaner, more eclectic sound on this 2003 release. There is straight-ahead doo wop ("To Be Loved" features a cappella vocals with softly strummed guitar and could have come off a Persuasions album), bluegrass, '50s-style slow dance R&B ("That Someone Just Ain't You"), and of course rockabilly (the instrumental "Rat Pack Boogie" sounds as if it were written with the loungy big band in mind and "Ring, Ring, Ring" seems like a "Stray Cats" outtake). This is also the hardest-rocking Setzer album since his mid-'80s work, as he turns the volume up on rootsy guitar rockers like "Don't Trust a Woman (In a Black Cadillac)" and the bluesy ZZ Top-styled scorching leadoff track, "Sixty Years". Setzer sounds great throughout and little seems forced or calculated. Lyrically he stumbles occasionally, especially on "Sixty Years" as he lambasts the corruption of big money, hardly a unique take on the topic. He also sounds unduly angry on "Drink Whiskey and Shut Up", a song that could have been grabbed off a Reverend Horton Heat album. Setzer's guitar is rightly prominent in the mix. He displays his classic, echoed '50s style and nimble fingers, in particular on the jumpy "Smokin' 'n Burnin'". He even shifts into Ennio Morricone territory on a windswept Wild West ballad "Wild Wind", an evocative, cinematic piece that means well but tries too hard to be "The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance" and comes up short. Regardless, this is an enjoyable and extremely varied listen from an artist in his prime who proves that he's far from a one-trick pony. Those who have followed Setzer from his early days will especially appreciate its diversity. (~ Hal Horowitz, AMG)

Brian Setzer and The Nashvillains - Red Hot & Live! (2007)

[IMG]http://*******.eu/avaxhome/avaxhome/2007-09-23/Red_Hot_Live.jpg[/IMG]

APE+CUE+LOG or MP3 CBR 320 Kbps | Covers | 59:05 min | 438 or 139 MB


This live CD documents Setzer on-stage in Japan in October 2006, cranking up his rockin' guitar for the very audible delight of a packed house. Setzer's band on this set, the Nashvillains, sound like a louder, tighter, and fuller variation on the Stray Cats, with pianist/guitarist Robbie Chevrier filling in the spaces when Setzer is soloing and bassist Ronnie Crutcher and drummer Bernie Dresel laying down a hard but traditionalist backbeat, though with a lot more flash than the average rockabilly act (the rhythm section doesn't solo much on a Gene Vincent session). The musicians blend well with Setzer, and the frontman's guitar skills are as sharp as ever, so any fans hoping to hear him tear off a few choice solos will be amply rewarded on this disc. The set list features a few classic rockabilly covers, including "Red Hot", "Put Your Cat Clothes On", and "Slow Down", and they inadvertently reveal Setzer's weak spot -- he can write a good showcase for his guitar work, but as a lyricist he's never been able to move past the cars/girls/retro-cool cliches that have dominated his work since the Stray Cats, and his own songs usually suffer in comparison, especially on this set.


Tracklist:

01. Red Hot
02. This Cat's On A Hot Tin Roof
03. Get It Off Your Mind
04. Slow Down
05. Put Your Cat Clothes On
06. Take A Chance On Love
07. Broken Down Piece Of Junk
08. Peroxide Blonde In A Hopped Up Model Ford
09. Tennessee Zip
10. Mini Bar Blues
11. Runaway Boys
12. Stray Cat Strut
13. Rocket Cathedrals
14. Fishnet Stockings
15. Rock This Town
16. Gene & Eddie
