CD DetailsSynopsis
Album Description Racin' The Devil is Lee Rocker's most diverse album yet, and a roots music fan's dream come true. The CD features twelve songs of scorching rockabilly, roadhouse romps and straight-ahead, old-school rock 'n' roll, highlighted by nine originals that are by far the strongest of his career. And his reinventions of The Stray Cats mega-hit "Rock This Town" and his first post-Cats band Phantom, Rocker & Slick's "Running From The Hounds" are foot-stomping and ecstatic statements of pure joy Racin' The Devil is full of terrific songwriting, great playing and super-energized performances. Anyone who loves raw, rocking music, be it blues, rockabilly, or straight ahead rock 'n' roll has got to love this album. From garage rockers and deeply textured roots anthems to the rockabilly sounds he helped reinvent, the album is a rich piece of Americana, as timeless and unique as the music Rocker fell in love with as a youngster. The originals bite with a powerful snap, the covers become his personal statements, and the playing is first-rate, raucous, rocking and fun. Similarly Requested CDs

CD ReviewsA Rock-a-Billy Romp T. Pancoast | BR, La | 05/18/2006 (5 out of 5 stars) "This album is EXCELLENT. Rock-a-Billy and R&B in its purist form. This album could have easily been at home on Sun Records. Stand out songs are The Girl From Hell, a new arrangement and recording of the Stray Cats' classic Rock this Town and Texarkana to Panama City. Lee has put together a great band and a great record. And don't miss his live show, it is fantastic! The guys are super cool and super talented." Rock-a-billy at it's best! T. Stephens | Newnan, GA. | 02/18/2010 (5 out of 5 stars) "Rock-a-billy is a touch of rock with a touch of country. Lee Rocker has the mix of the two and has mixed it so very well. The singing is great, the music is great and this cd is great. This Stray Cat has his act together." DECENT OUTPUT FROM EX KITTY Mitchell Cassman | BUFFALO GROVE, IL United States | 04/02/2006 (3 out of 5 stars) "The Stray Cats have continued on and off with some reunion tours, its members have pressed on. The most notable might be Brian Setzer and his, again, bloated big band albums. But while Setzer has been in the spotlight on occasion, Lee Rocker has really never strayed from what the Stray Cats were all about. If you need any more proof, just look at the back of this disc, where he is holding a standup bass over his knee and plucking the hell out of it. The latest release from Rocker is what you would come to expect from someone who only knows rock and rockabilly and how vivacious the genre can be when done right."
