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 Casual Stray Cats Fans...., March 3, 2005
This review is from: Runaway Boys: Retrospective 81-92 (Audio CD)
This is the one. If you are only going to get one Stray Cats cd, you won't go wrong with this one. Cool package and great liner notes too.

5.0 out of 5 stars The best Stray Cats compilation, August 8, 2002
By 
mediaphile (Lansing, MI United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Runaway Boys: Retrospective 81-92 (Audio CD)
This is just my humble opinion, but if you are going to get a Stray Cats "Greatest Hits" album - get this one. Why? Because:
All the the tracks - 25 in all! some of them unreleased previously in this country, including a fav of mine "My One Desire". There are covers, all of their hits, and much more.

5.0 out of 5 stars GGGGO DADDY-O, July 10, 2004
By 
Unlucky Frank (Lalaland, CA United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Runaway Boys: Retrospective 81-92 (Audio CD)
Hey there, Kats and Kittens. Wanna hear the screaminest hollow-body Gretsch guitar music this side of the Atlantic? Look no further. This should be titled THE BEST OF THE STRAY CATS. Because that's what this collection is all about. The only throw away track may be GIVE IT TO ME. The rest is pure rock-a-billy heaven. I wore my pomp real high in the early 80's when these boys first started slapping wood and I'm here to tell ya, it doesn't get any better than this. I WON'T STAND IN YOUR WAY and LONELY SUMMER NIGHTS are the two best ballads Brian Setzer has ever recorded and they're both included here. Check out the high-octane guitar power of ELVIS ON VELVET and then tell me this doesn't come close to tearing the throat out of any guitar solo by Chris Spedding. When I first bought this CD it never left the player in my ride and when ELVIS ON VELVET comes on, the windows go down, the volume goes up, and accelerator gets floored. GGGGO DADDY-O. The only thing that would make this collection complete would have been the inclusion of LOOK AT THAT CADILLAC and WILD SAXOPHONE. Otherwise, purrrrfect.

P.S. Who are these DIRTY DOGGIES bringing down the reviews of the coolest cats to ever cut a side? Go review your Iron Maiden CD. DRIPS!!
