@undapar1 Stray Cats didn't hold him back, they gave him a stage to be seen and heard on. At the time of the Stray Cats, he wouldn't have gone over as a solo artist and it was too early for the big band deal. The Stray Cats opened the door for him to form the Orchestra and continue to do his thing. They were great, very cool and a breath of fresh air in the (ugh) disco era. He has kept swing and rockabilly alive for a new generation. God bless him for that!
woooow i remember the first time i see this video with my friend ¨el trikis¨ we were smoking i dont know what but pay attention to this guy from the 4 string thing wooow
@clolom95 I totally Agree with you. Brian has taken Rockabilly and given it a whole new dimension...playing 12 bars repeatatively can get a little monotonous. His unique blending of styles is now Brians signature sound. Its what makes Brain Setzer, Brian Setzer. The man is a visionary and a pioneer. Rockabilly has no boundaries...Thanks to Brian.

I love the way he incoperates jazz with spanish and all these other styles, jazz is the invention and combining spanish with jazz is Improvisational Experimentation, he is well acknowledgment In the Art Of good music
LOL i think he means it in the sense that the musician in which the Les Paul guitar was named after would be rolling in his grave because he is famous for playing this song....
@curtlong : in answer to your question: why he isn't as popular anymore. ____probably because the main stream musical tastes of the current generation youth is into different things now....rap etc. The stray cats era is gone. But.....all us slightly older people still love him. Its like when the "Big Band Era" ended....it was not that the music was bad (it was great)....just that a new generation was into something different.
Yes, and this Japanese Big-Band called "Nettai Tropical Jazz Big Band", they covered Caravan in the Late 90s, and this was released in the album called "September", which also includes their arrangement of Earth, Wind & Fire's "September".
