@JGVETTGUY Oh no...just watch SRV play this live. He's not even in Setzer's zip code. SRV is a thing, but Setzer is the greatest all-around guitar player ever. It's no contest.

Only Setzer can cover Stevie and sounds great... some blues and jazzabilly licks, a true guitar god.

@SM038 I have nothing but praise for Brian Setzer but for Christ's sake: Have you never really liked an artist but had one or two songs or arrangements that you didn't care for? By the way, the 'low rent' description isn't a putdown. Have you ever seen Tom Waits and his approach, look, and sensibilities? His music isn't from the penthouse...like Charles Bukowski's - it's from the dives and low rent, skid row neighborhoods of the world and the mind...and...it's brilliant!

@pyannaguy to glitzy? too much bling? no way you're wrong....but anyways it seems to work for him as he's won a grammy ! .....and if you ever meet him be sure to insult him with that stray cats are "low rent" comment. He'll love that. Don't quit your day job to become a music critic!

I salute Setzer for growing as a musician, but sometimes jazzing something up can sound a little self-indulgent and schmaltzy. There's no right or wrong here, it's just about personal taste.
Overall, Brian's done a whole lot of good by painlessly re-educating lots of people to great Americana Music, from low-rent, raw, Stray Cats all the way up to the big band. I respect and dig the guy's work - this particular tune just seems a bit loaded-down and too glitzy with all the bling .
Rock on!
