5.0 out of 5 stars Stray Cats Turn it up a Notch, August 14, 1999

Absolutely no one does the rockabilly hits like the Stray Cats: nobody. This album proves it. 20 Flight Rock is so incredible, it must be heard to be believed. Somethin' Else just jams, I Fought The Law is almost better than the original, Be Bop A Lula, surpasses the orginal, Let It Rock is everything you expect it to be and Train Kept A Rollin' will keep you rollin' and wanting more. The rest are excellent as well, but these moments stand out. An excellent CD that is a must-have for any true Stray Cats fan and any true fan of rockabilly. Brian, Slim Jim, and Lee; you have done well.

All covers. Occasionally sounds like they are just going through the motions, but, overall a fine compilation. Check out the bad translation of the lyrics. Very funny.

4.0 out of 5 stars Brian's Rockin', February 13, 1999

This a rockin' cd of the Stray Cats performing with their fifties rockabilly sound with some of their own music. They perform songs by stars such as Eddie Cochran,Buddy Holly, Elvis Presley, Ricky Nelson, and Gene Vincent. A must have for Stray Cat and rockabilly lovers along with fans who have not forgotten Eddie, Buddy,Elvis,Ricky, and Gene. Keep it Rockin'!
