| V/A – PLEASE GIVE ME SOMETHING |
|
Head cat of the Stray Cat pack, Brian Setzer has always been quite open and honest in his self-confessed pillaging of old Rock 'n' Roll songs, which he equates to the widespread re-arrangements of old-time country and blues tunes. The enclosed compilation delivers 16 recordings - many popularised during the late 1970s Rockabilly revival - from which The Stray Cats have since covered, adapted and borrowed; the foundation of /Cat Class/ and /Cat Style/ from their first thirteen years.
Deluxe package with gatefold sleeve and interesting liner notes from Dave Penny. |
