Quote
The
concept is stated in the title and the execution is about what you'd
expect from one of the most popular rockabilly revivalists in
contemporary music. It's not much of a stretch for Stray Cat Brian
Setzer to take a break from writing his own rockabilly tunes that often
sound like classic Sun material anyway, but by narrowing his focus
roughly from 1954 to early 1957 and sticking with music produced by the
king of country music record labels, he scores credibility points. The
23-track set is peppered with obvious choices like Carl Perkins' "Blue
Suede Shoes" and "Boppin' the Blues" and Johnny Cash's "Get Rhythm," but
dominated by more obscure fare from lesser-known acts such as Kenny
Parchman, Ernie Barton, and Tommy Blake. Setzer even tracked down
Jumpin' Gene Simmons to finish off "Peroxide Blonde in a Hopped Up Model
Ford" when part of the original master copy was found to have been
erased. Elvis is represented only by "Just Because," a brief nod to the
King that also illustrates how many other acts had produced music nearly
as vital from the same little room in Memphis. Setzer even calls in the
Jordanaires to provide background vocals, bringing even more
authenticity to this project. These versions are refreshingly stripped
down, with standup bass, skeletal drums, acoustic piano, and occasional
sax providing all the instrumental excitement. Even Setzer's fiery
guitar solos are lean, mean, and never dominate the songs. He's in
terrific form throughout; clearly his heart is in it and it sounds like
he's having a blast. Whether listeners need covers that stick so closely
to the originals, if with slightly fuller sound, when the real McCoys
are easily available is something listeners will have to decide for
themselves. Regardless, this is a rollicking, ballad-free, nonstop hour
of classic rockabilly that shows how much great music emerged from such a
short period, and from only one record label. Setzer fans will be
thrilled and those first hearing these songs will want to go back to
explore the genre's rich history firsthand.
