Biography

Rockabilly three piece, The Stray Cats were formed in 1979 in Long Island by Brian Setzer, Leon Drucker and James McDonnel. They cite their influences as Bill Haley and the Sun Records label. The band relocated to the UK to take advantage of the rockabilly revival in the late 70s.

The band released their debut album Stray Cats in 1981, making the top 40 in the singles charts with "Runaway Boys" and… Read more in Amazon's Stray Cats Store

5.0 out of 5 stars THE STRAY CATS SECOND ALBUM ON CD, July 10, 2004
By 
Unlucky Frank (Lalaland, CA United States) - See all my reviews
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Gonna Ball (Audio CD)
The STRAY CATS second album is one of their best and it's finally available on Amazon. And some people say there's no God. This recording was never available domestically. Their first two albums were British IMPORT only. I still own this IMPORT on vinyl and I've been trying for ages to find this on CD. The Japanese IMPORT has been available for a while, but it's too pricey. Finally, a clean copy of WASN"T THAT GOOD, my favorite cut off this album. Quick, put this in your CART while it's still available!! REV IT UP AND GO!!

5.0 out of 5 stars Stray Cats best work caught on vinyl (transferred to CD), September 7, 1998
By A Customer
This review is from: Gonna Ball (Audio CD)
This release, recorded in the early eighties, captures the Stray Cats at there finest. They combine classic 50's remakes with their own material. Starting with Johhy Burrnette's "Baby Blue Eyes", to Setzer's rocker "Crazy mixed-up kids" this work includes great R&B numbers and danced inspired rockers. If your a fan of the Stray Cats or the Brian Setzer orchestra, this CD is a must.

4.0 out of 5 stars Gonna Ball, June 10, 2004
By 
This review is from: Gonna Ball (Audio CD)
Album was released in same year as the first one. It's a mix of rockabilly ("Baby Blue Eyes", "Crazy Mixed Up Kid", "Gonna Ball", "Little Miss Prissy"), Chuck Berry and Jump blues (Wyonnie Harris' "Wasn't That Good" and "(She'll Stay Just) One More Day"). Various musicians are featured (Ian Stewart, formely Rolling Stones' on piano, Brian McDonald on harmonica, Steve Poncar and Lee Allen (who played on dozens of hits and many hundreds of sides, by artists including Fats Domino, Lloyd Price, and Little Richard) on saxes,...). Very nice!
