Brian Setzer was about 22 or 23 in this video. Nobody in today's popular music at that age has that type of musical proficiency and appreciation of what went before. Autotune? What's that? Can you imagine what these guys would say if a tv producer told them they would have to lip sync a performance?
My favorite of their songs. That stand-up bass player is awesome! And that drummer shows just how much of a drum kit you really need. Wish I had appreciated them a little more back in their day but I was young and wrapped up in angry music back then. Now I'm almost fifty and have traded angry music for fun music. Stray Cats were a fun group. Thanks for posting.
Madonna is in the rock and roll hall of fame and these guys aren't. Go figure. And what gets me about that is the RnR hall of fame says they refuse to induct the Monkees because other people wrote and recorded their music. Oh you mean like Madonna? Where all of her hits were written and recorded by other people.
I saw stray cats twice in toronto- Canada's wonderland and the Diamond Club. Both times were fantastic. At wonderland, he opened for George Thorogood. No comparison- Stray cats ruled.
