Product Description

This is the first of a multi-volume series where Brian will pay tribute to the music that influenced him, and in turn, made him one of the most influential musical figures of the last 25 years. Here are 23 amazing rockabilly songs (some hits, some obscure gems) that helped define an era. Setzer is determined to do whatever it takes to reach as many people as possible so they too can discover the music that has gone underappreciated for too long.

5.0 out of 5 stars This CD is fantastic, November 5, 2005
I really hope he puts out one of these per year. Brian has managed to take the authentic sound and energy of mid 50s rockabilly and record it with totally modern sound quality. Unlike his offerings with Stray Cats and 68 CBS, this cd has no modern rock or punk edge to it. This really does sound like it could have been recorded in 1954. But the one thing that has always bothered me about music recorded back then is the tinny, flat sound that even the best remasters tend to have. But here we have the best of both worlds; Authentic, heartfelt rockabilly in big booming 3-D sound. Take this home, crank it to '11' and try try not to smile and tap your foot. I dare you.

4.0 out of 5 stars + 1/2 stars...A Return To His Roots, August 1, 2005
For this 23-song collection of Sun Records tracks from 1954-57 (both big hits and obscurities), Brian Setzer put the big band orchestra aside and stripped things down to just himself, drummer Bernie Dresel, bassist Mark Winchester, and piano player Kevin McKendree. The results are pure magic. Setzer captures the nuances of rockabilly, yet still manages to put his own unique stamp on the proceedings. Recorded and mastered in just three weeks, Setzer has created one of the most enduring albums of his career and sure to satisfy old Stray Cats fans who were waiting for him to return to his rockabilly roots. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED

5.0 out of 5 stars "This cd just smokes", July 29, 2005
By G. Copeland (Aurora Ontario) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
It has been some time since I have heard music with such excitement. This is a great tribute to one of the Greatest Labels in Music, "Sun". Lock your doors, turn it up and get ready to hear the "Original Rock and Roll" now called "Rockabilly, the way it was. It is unfortunate that Artists like, Carl Perkins, Roy Orbison, Charlie Rich, Elvis, Johnny Cash are no longer with us, but I am sure they would enjoy it. The piano work on "Put your Cat Clothes on" is excellent. Remember the original had a very young "Jerry Lee Lewis" as the studio player. Thanks Brian for taking me back, I am looking forward to Volume 2. Don't forget "Sonny Burgess"
