Setzer Shows Off His Versatility

(5 out of 5 stars)

"Brian Setzer, i.e. Mr. Rockabilly-Big Band-Jazz Type Guy, delivers all of the above with his latest album Nitro Burnin Funny Daddy. The first two songs, "Sixty Years" & "Don't Trust a Woman in a Black Cadillac" are hard rockin' rockabilly tunes that are simply awesome! "Drink Whiskey & Shut Up", "Smokin & Burinin", and "Ring, Ring, Ring" are other rockabilly tunes which will keep your toes tappin'. Brian also does a remake of "Wild Wind" which is truly incredible! Brian also plays two versions of "When the Bells Don't Chime". The second version has more banjo. These are done very well and give the songs a country sounding feeling without going over the edge. Brian also gives us three heart felt songs, "That Someone Just Ain't You", "St. Jude" & "To Be Loved". "St. Jude" is a wonderful tune that shows Brian has a religous fiber in him. "To Be Loved" is an excellent slow doo-wop type tune where Brian shines on the vocal. There are two other songs on this CD, "Rat Pack Boogie" & "Jumpin' at the Capitol". These are both jazz instumentals which don't quite belong on this particular CD even though they are done well. Overall, this CD is a very good effort and I highly recommend it."

"Brian is INSPIRED on this new album!!! This Japanese released album came out in late summer and the American version will be out in late October. I've listened to it for about two weeks now and it is still burning rubber donuts all around in my head! The first thing you will notice is the CD cover with Brian leaning on a 1930s hotrod looking all the part of a Stray Cat twenty years later (has it really been that long?!?). The coy smile belies what's inside!The first three cuts on the album are no-brainers for hit singles. (We Only Got) Sixty Years (On the Planet) ends any question as to whether Brian and the band can guitar rock anymore. This song is air guitar nirvana with Brian belting out throaty vocals while Bernie Dresel beats holes in his drum set and Johnny "Spaz" Hatton makes the bass THUMP! Don't Trust A Woman (In A Black Cadillac) keeps things rumbling along more in a rich rock vein rather than rockabilly. Next comes the surprise of the three in When The Bells Don't Chime that defies typical classification. Brian plays a stomping banjo (yes, banjo!) along with great rockabilly riffs and a fast beat sure to get everyone in a dance mode BSO-style! It's part country, part rock, part Americana, part rockabilly, but all fun and good. Next comes a great slow 1950s ballad in That Someone Just Ain't You and an instrumental called Rat Pack Boogie. The pace gets back into overdrive with Ring, Ring, Ring in modern 1950s rockabilly stomp. Then comes Drink Whiskey and Shut Up - a funny tale from a bartender tired of trendy people in his bar. The Stray Cats live in 2003 with Smokin' 'N Burnin' rockabillying about hotrods and hot girls! A great remake of Wild Wind follows and then another surprisingly catchy ballad in St. Jude (Pray For Us). For the Setzer doo-wop fan, you will be in Doo-Wop Heaven with To Be Loved. Jumpin' At the Capitol is the throw in Japanese Bonus Track instrumental followed by the Banjo Mix of When The Bells Don't Chime.All things said, this is a GREAT album worthy of many plays and the 'Keep' section of your CD collection. The American release will have a bonus disc and be almost half the price. Highly recommended!"
