Brian Setzer: No Stray Cat To Bluegrass
Category: CD Release By Shore Fire Media
March 4, 2011
With its forays into bluegrass and traditional jazz, Brian Setzer’s new album ‘Setzer Goes Instru-MENTAL!‘ (out April 19 on Surfdog Records) has the guitar legend testing new waters and putting his signature Stray Cat stamp on a few instrumental favorites. Setzer didn’t set out to create an all-instrumental affair but couldn’t resist temptation when the music started heading in that direction.
“I didn’t start writing an instrumental record, per se,” says Setzer. “I wrote 7 songs with lyrics, and then all of a sudden I just took a turn and started fooling around with ‘Blue Moon of Kentucky,’ except without any vocals. I started playing melody chords and thought, ‘Wow, this is pretty cool!’ So the direction turned about halfway through my writing. I had never done an instrumental record, but I thought, well, now’s the time.”
Brian Setzer wrote six originals and revitalizes five jazz-bluegrass classics – “Blue Moon of Kentucky,” “Earl’s Breakdown,” “Cherokee,” “Be-Bop-A-Lula,” and “Lonesome Road.” Recording each gave Setzer the chance to revisit old techniques and try new tricks, such as playing banjo on the Earl Scruggs’ classic “Earl’s Breakdown,” or substituting jazz chords into traditional bluegrass on the Bluegrass Boys’ “Blue Moon of Kentucky.”
