By 1981, Stray Cats had become one of the most exciting live bands on the planet. Having crossed the Atlantic in search of an audience that understood Rockabilly, Brian Setzer, Lee Rocker and Slim Jim Phantom quickly found themselves at the forefront of the British rockin' revival. Live At The Roxy 1981 captures the trio in full flight, delivering the raw energy and razor-sharp musicianship that made them such a sensation.
The set mixes the band's biggest early songs with several welcome surprises. Alongside favourites including Rock This Town, Stray Cat Strut, Rumble In Brighton and Fishnet Stockings, you'll hear less frequently performed numbers such as Beautiful Delilah, Baby What You Want Me To Do and Rock Around With Ollie Vee. Every performance crackles with the confidence of a band playing at the peak of its powers, balancing Rockabilly authenticity with the attitude and excitement of contemporary Rock 'n' Roll.
Five unplugged bonus tracks provide a fascinating contrast, stripping the music back to reveal the trio's deep roots in Rock 'n' Roll, Blues and Country. They also demonstrate that the band's songs lose none of their impact when the amplifiers are turned down.
Limited to just 700 copies, Live At The Roxy 1981 is an essential addition to any Stray Cats collection, capturing one of the defining bands of the rockin' revival exactly as they were meant to be heard: live, loud and full of swagger.
