Stray Cats

Brian Setzer and his bandmates pulled rockabilly from the fifties into the eighties. They paired the raw force of early American roots music with a rebellious punk stance that made the material feel urgent again.

Captured in London, the music stays stripped-down and avoids modern production additions. It stands as a document of the rockabilly revival, showing that older styles could still find a place on the airwaves during a new era.
