I think he has more tattoos than I do, not bu many tho

Dude can play ... like the Gretch guitar .. we use to call that a cowboy guitar .. Thanks to member who sent this to me . :cheers:

Underrated.
Always was.

Big time, I still listen to my Stay Cats CD's

I think they called it "Rock-a-Billy" kinda like redneck blues

Saw him in 2000 (I think) at the casino....awesome show, loved all that Swing Revival music that was out around that time

How old are those video's? :btu:

tagger you got good taste :kewl:

Absolutely.He's done it all.It might sound stupid to most but with his incredible skill with the guitar I'd love to see him do something metal,
just one tune with a good metal band or a cover of a great metal classic.

bow to the revrend.

Definitlly a lost art, most guitar players latched onto the Hendrix/Clapton style and went from there. Early Rockabilly guys like Scottie Moore latched onto country, swing, jazz and blues styles. Les PAul and Chet Atkns ( thats Atkin's style Gretch that Setzer plays) really took it all to a new level. Setzer plays some very cool stuff, I have studied his playing and his influences. If you guys really like teh Strat Cats stuff , check out Big Sandy and the Flyrite Boys and Deke Dekerson.
Both are younger guys still playing and making some very cool music. Great guitar playing. I listen to this stuff all the time.

I love his big band albums they are great and he is a great player. If you enjoy his stuff look into Danny Gatton you won't be dissapointed. I will check out the others too.
