Album Notes & Community Reviews

This EMI collection surveys Brian Setzer's recordings from 1981 to 1988, covering his years leading the Stray Cats and his first solo work. Setzer's virtuosic Gretsch guitar playing revived rockabilly for the MTV generation, and these tracks document that revival's commercial peak.
