Details: Amazon.ca With a brace of new collaborators drawn from his Brian Setzer Orchestra, the bequiffed riffmeister returns to the three-piece rockabilly format that made him a star in the mid-70s with 2001's Ignition. Essentially, this is the Stray Cats re-born, except that Setzer has narrowed his lyric concerns down to hot-rodding and all its attendant delights. What's remarkable is that, perhaps because Setzer's entire career has been founded on re-treading musical genres long past their sell-by dates, there's no sense of selling out. Setzer comes across as a man who was born twenty years too late, genuinely loves what he's doing and gives not a hoot whether it's fashionable. His guitar playing has, if anything, become more energised, better focused and faster with the passage of the years, and anybody who can write a song called "Who Would Love This Car But Me?", clearly has not just a solid grasp of the genre but an admirable line in self-deprecating humour. In the course of the album, Setzer doo-wops sweetly in "Dreamsville", summons up a totally convincing country-style yodel in "8-Track" and closes proceedings by re-vamping Ernesto Lecuona's "Malaguena" into a Tex-Mex rockabilly stormer that would have sounded great on the soundtrack of From Dusk Til Dawn. --Johnny Black Product Description Widely regocnized for single-handedly bringing two forgotten genres of music back to the popular forefront, is shifting gears once again... Featuring 14 brand new hot rod songs and makeout tunes. Track listing includes "Ignition," "Hell Bent," "Hot Rod Girl," "8-Track," plus lots more.
