The Stray Cats were sort of a Rock-A-Billy revival in the early 80's. Their style is very similar to that of artists from yesteryear, like Gene Vincent and Eddie Cochrane. Rumble in Brighton, Gene and Eddie, and Sexy and Seventeen are some of their more popular songs.
Guitarist & lead singer Brian Setzer tours every fall and winter doing a Christmas show. Hopefully he'll be able to do so again this year. "Rock This Town" was their biggest hit.
Thanks for doing this. These guys were HUGE when I was in college. At the time it seemed like the sound came outta nowhere. I had the pleasure of seeing them live in concert at Giants Stadium in New Jersey.
That is an Upright Base. They were a rock-a-billy band. The lead singer, Brian Setzer has a new band that plays big band era songs..ya know the type, the swing and lindy dancing music.
That instrument is an upright bass. Sometimes called double bass and in rockabilly/country circles called doghouse bass. Their other big radio records were Sexy & 17 and also Rock This Town. Another killer rocker is Rumble In Brighton. A great great ballad is I Wont Stand In Your Way. 20 year old kids in 80-81 reviving late 50s sounds and look.
I grew up on Gene Vincent, Eddie Cochran, Stray Cats, and other Rock-A-Billy bands. I had the hair, the cloth, just could never pull off the dancing. Lol. Great memories of better days.
If you want to fast forward to more recent history, Brian Seltzer has been touring for years with a big band of horns, a lot of swing and his rockabilly guitar, very top notch performances, and in any live video he always looks like he's enjoying life more than anybody in the world
These Guy's were so different when they hit the music scene. A throw-back Sound. Momma rocked them along with us lol. You should get Paid Double time for Sunday Abra
Another Stray Cats song you might enjoy reacting to is "Rock This Town". The lead singer/guitarist is called Brian Setzer who would go on to form the Brian Setzer Orchestra (BSO) - The BSO cover of the old Louis Prima classic "Jump, Jive and Wail" is fantastic.
Check out Brian Setzer. He is FABULOUS! STILL MAKING MUSIC! He is the Elvis s of Japan. That Gretch guitar is unbelievable. Plus Slim Jim Phantom and Lee Rocker.
Etta James’ cover of Woody Guthrie’s song Let’s burn down the cornfield is so good. Something her voice does in that song sends shivers up my spine in the best way. If you listen to woody guthrie’s first, it’s even more clear how much she brings to it. :)
Loving your style, man! Your comment about watching live performances to pick up the band's personality made me think about Depeche Mode. If you haven't already I suggest you check them out live in Berlin with Enjoy The Silence or Personal Jesus. Subscribing now.
They got the style of the 40s and the guitar time if the 50s. Check out the group Uriah Heep. Think you'll dig them . Start with their song Easy Living, then Sweet Loraine, and Sunshine.
IF YOU LIKE ROCK-A-BILLY STUFF LIKE THIS YOU SHOULD TRY DAVE EDMUNDS WHO I BELIEVE PRODUCED THE STRAY CATS FIRST ALBUM AND ALSO HAD A VERY NICE SOLO CAREER IN THE UK.
"I got cat class and I got cat style". Yeah Brian Setzer and company are cool. I love Stray Cats! Haven't heard this in a while, so thanks Abracadabra.
The official video of this song is absolutely hilarious. Unlike you, I like the recorded version of songs, as those are the ones perfected in the studio. Live versions are rarely as good, just interesting sidelights.
Excellent choice to review.... Hope all has been going great with you.. Been freezing up here, lost power 5 times over the last week and a half and the well froze up three times, other than that things wonderful...:)
@@markzegarac8574 do i dare say i live in Florida it almost sounds mean but ive lived 1/2 my life in New York so i do know about snow hey we have hurricanes but thats a crazy amount of snow i dont miss it i wish you the best!!
@@lindaaugone6294 I lived in Ft. Myers for 5 years and came back here to take care of my dad until he passed, so your mentioning Florida is fine..:) I found me this great little home in the woods on a river here out in the middle of nowhere yet despite the snow, cold and once in a while tornado, I wouldn't want to live anywhere else now..:) Take care and have a great Monday since you're an hour ahead of me...:)
One of the most overlooked bands of the 80s, they were amazing musicians.
Brian Setzer brought back 2 music genres back from the dead, Rockabilly and Big Band Swing........truly a American legend

"Rock This Town" is another good one! Love your reaction, thanks for extending your library with The Stray Cats!❤
Another vote for listening to "Rock This Town" It's a pleasant song
Brian Setzer has done great stuff over the years. He does a great cover of Brand New Cadillac, so did the Clash.
These guys did some great stuff. Entertaining as hell. 🎼🎶🎵🇨🇦
I saw them at the Auditorium here in 1984 before they disbanded. Amazing unforgettable performance.
Live at monteux 1981 is their best live performance I've seen! Worth the watch along with Mike Oldfield at the same festival!

Tough enough by the Fabulous Thunderbirds is a really cool tune.

This is early in their career, and even then you can tell they have massive amounts of talent.
they first became famous in london england, as we never forgot rockabilly, and still have a big scene here
Lee Rocker is awesome slap Bassist.
These Guy's were so different when they hit the music scene. A throw-back Sound. Momma rocked them along with us lol. You should get Paid Double time for Sunday Abra
And the Rockabilly door is open. Check out the Brian Setzer Orchestra and The Cherry Poppin’ Daddies.

I can't believe I forgot about this song. Haven't heard it in years. Thank you for reacting to it.

A song you'll like by them is Rock This Town. Check out live version.
Stray Cats DO rock!
Abracadabra, Here's a live video concert that will blow your mind: Fletwood Mac live 1976 'Rhiannon'.
I remember when I first heard them on the radio. I ran out and bought their album.
My sister had a tattoo of them when she was 14, it didn’t go too well in our house. Mum was mad but my sister was wild
Rock this Town.
Yea!
Look at you appreciating musicians. It's a sleeper song
Like I need these shades for this F...song!😎
Stray Cats. Rock This Town and Sexy and 17
Check out Rock this town !
Abracadabra...if you like this rockabilly style...check out the Brian Setzer Orchestra fronted by the Stray Cats lead singer.
Rockabilly music.
Thanks cadabra
He does a great cover of a route 66 with the Brian Seltzer orchestra worth listening to
Yay!!!
Loving your style, man! Your comment about watching live performances to pick up the band's personality made me think about Depeche Mode. If you haven't already I suggest you check them out live in Berlin with Enjoy The Silence or Personal Jesus. Subscribing now.
Fuckin eh that some solid shit
The instrument is a bass ;) love your reactions. Check out some Social Distortion too.
The studio cut is extra fun😍 I sing it to my cats all the time!
I think you’ll really like Manhattan Orchestra - The Silence.. please please review! Also, I love your reactions.

IF YOU LIKE ROCK-A-BILLY STUFF LIKE THIS YOU SHOULD TRY DAVE EDMUNDS WHO I BELIEVE PRODUCED THE STRAY CATS FIRST ALBUM AND ALSO HAD A VERY NICE SOLO CAREER IN THE UK.
Yeah yeah...you need more Stray Cats. No doubt about it.
If he were alive I could see Cab Calloway doing this song
runaway boys.
🔥🤟👍🏻
"I got cat class and I got cat style". Yeah Brian Setzer and company are cool. I love Stray Cats! Haven't heard this in a while, so thanks Abracadabra.

hello dude
Listen to the studio version
Excellent live. Great musicians. Saw them back in the day.
Rock This Town is another of their best
I just seen that title , it’s definitely next
The official video of this song is absolutely hilarious. Unlike you, I like the recorded version of songs, as those are the ones perfected in the studio. Live versions are rarely as good, just interesting sidelights.
Stray Cats "Rumble In Brighten" live.
A twisted infusions of early rock and hillbilly electrified 🤔🤔 the reverend Horton Heat is in that style worth a listen too. Enjoy
On my wife’s phone check out bass fiddle war

I got one for you that is right in your wheelhouse, it will blow your mind.
Queensryche- Silent Lucidity
Rock this town is great too
The video IS the performance on this song. Most of the videos from this era sound just like the recordings and you get to see the band.
I saw Brian and his orchestra in San Francisco on New Years Eve about 20 years ago. Great show and great time.
still no Grand Funk?
Can you please react to Natalie Imbruglia song called Counting down the days
Please
