It is hard to play Blue Suede Shoes. I know everyone has heard it 10 million times, and that makes it even harder to play it, but there's a very laid back tempo on that. I was surprised at how slow it really was. Brian Setzer backbluehard share on social
With the Stray Cats at least, we really took the music somewhere else. First, we wrote our own songs. That's a real weak point in modern classics if you do rockabilly or blues. Brian Setzer bluecatclassic Change image and share on social
The jazz chord substitutions in a country song... that was another thing that bent people's ears. I guess that my favorites are the unique ones. It's not how fast you play. It's that unique blending of different stuff I'm most proud of. Brian Setzer bendblendchord share on social
I'm not God's gift to rockabilly. There's great players out there, and some of them deserve a lot more than they've gotten. Brian Setzer deservegiftgod Change image and share on social
We weren't afraid to mix some crazy styles into the standard rockabilly look. We also took a lot of different musical influences that were part of that era. Brian Setzer afraidcrazyera Change image and share on social
I always thought when I hit 50 years old that'd be it for the travel. I don't have to tell you - you wait at an airport, your flight's delayed, get on a 14-hour flight, get off, get stuck in traffic, you get to the hotel and the room service is closed. Brian Setzer airportclosedelay share on social
It's not about how loud you turn the amp up. That's not what makes it sound big. What makes it sound big is fooling around with different delays and reverb settings. Brian Setzer ampbigdelay Change image and share on social
I started a big band when grunge was popular. I mean, that didn't make much sense. Brian Setzer bandbiggrunge Change image and share on social
