Brian Setzer Music Player
...takes you right to 3 of his streaming albums. Rockabilly/Swing. It's just what everyone needs to listen to on a rainy day (like today).
Not that anyone is still just "discovering" Brian Setzer and his Orchestra, but there's a great YouTube channel, Facebook and Myspace presence, all accessible from his home page.
Why is this music meaningful for me? Well, it's got a good drive to it. Generally it has an upbeat message, if not a bit of leaning toward the Blues sometimes. Setzer is an awesome guitarist, and a fair vocalist, and one heck of a performer. He combines wild guitar, lots of horns--just unbelievable. One of my favorite sets of theirs (BSO's) is from the album Ultimate BSO, recorded in Japan. The songs include 007 theme, Hawaii 5-0 theme (the new movie would be crazy NOT to use this version of the theme song!) and a couple other great tunes I play over and over and over.
Lend him your ears. You will not be sorry.
