The Dirty Boogie (1998) more music like this

by The Brian Setzer Orchestra

Evidently, Brian Setzer doesn't take the jump blues and swing of the Brian Setzer Orchestra as a joke. Dirty Boogie is his third album with his large band, and instead of sounding tired, the record is the group's best effort yet. Setzer rocks the band hard, tearing through blues and rock & roll covers with vigor, and delivering made-to-order ...

Always Got Tonight (2002) more music like this

by Chris Isaak

You have to admire Chris Isaak -- the guy's been making records for close to 20 years, and he's still the very model of effortless cool with pipes to match, not the easiest accomplishment for a guy who's pushing fifty. At the same time, while Isaak's gifts haven't faded a bit with time, he hasn't displayed a stunning degree of versatility, either ...

Tyrannosaurus Hives (2004) more music like this

by The Hives

It's clear that a lot care goes into the Hives' seemingly immediate, fired-up sound: this is a band, after all, that has only released three full-length albums in its 11-year lifespan. While the 2002 collection Your New Favourite Band ended up winning the group many more fans thanks to its fortuitous timing with the garage rock revival craze (and ...

Tell 'Em What Your Name Is! (2009) more music like this

by Black Joe Lewis & the Honeybears

This major-label debut from Austin-based retro soul man Black Joe Lewis is reminiscent of the '60s R&B albums he so clearly adores, right down to its 30-minute playing time. Only one song breaks the four-minute barrier, with the rest at three and some just over two. Fans of the J. Geils Band's initial handful of releases will recognize the same ...

Red Hot & Live! (2007) more music like this

by Brian Setzer & the Nashvillains

After breaking up the Stray Cats in 1984, Brian Setzer spent several years seemingly avoiding the rockabilly issue, first cutting a heartland rock album (1986's The Knife Feels Like Justice) and then forming his swing band the Brian Setzer Orchestra. But Setzer seems to have come to terms with the intersection of twang and bop in the 21st century ...

Ignition! (2001) more music like this

by Brian Setzer '68 Comeback Special

Brian Setzer has enjoyed a 20-year career as pop music's most consistent champion of rockabilly, first as the leader of the Stray Cats in the 80s, followed by solo stints, and a then by a resurgence in popularity in the late '90s fronting a swing orchestra. Setzer's latest incarnation is a return to a trio, named the Brian Setzer '68 Comeback ...

Veni Vidi Vicious (2000) more music like this

by The Hives

Rousing, stompin' garage rock from these Swedes, with plenty of mod and frantic punk energy to keep you grooving along. "Party Party!" they seem to be saying, and you just want to join. This is definite change-up from the usual hyperspeed pop-ska-punk dross offered on Epitaph. Perhaps this arises from the fact that these guys are only distributed ...

Dig That Crazy Christmas (2005) more music like this

by Brian Setzer Orchestra

As Brian Setzer's second Christmas record in three years -- apparently his Surfdog labelmate Gary Hoey has been rubbing off on him -- it should come as no great surprise that Dig That Crazy Christmas sounds a little bit familiar. It follows the same form as 2002's Boogie Woogie Christmas, as Setzer blasts through several familiar carols, tosses in ...

Shake Hands With Shorty (2000) more music like this

by North Mississippi Allstars

Luther and Cody Dickinson (the sons of Memphis producer-musician Jim Dickinson) play guitar and drums like two true brothers on this debut outing. Exploring the world of Mississippi modal juke-joint music, the duo, with bassist Chris Chew, come up with the freshest style to hit roots music in decades. Their sound is a little bit of ZZ Top, a ...

13 (2006) more music like this

by Brian Setzer

Throughout his career, Brian Setzer has successfully led two bands that have explored, and expanded upon, specific areas of pre-'60s American music: the Stray Cats virtually created the rockabilly revival of the '80s and the Brian Setzer Orchestra mined and updated the big band swing and jump-boogie of the '40s. In both contexts, the prescient ...

Vinyl (1991) more music like this

by Dramarama

Finding itself on a major label for the first time in its career, Dramarama maintained the overall course of its career with Vinyl, combining smart pop/rock kicks and a sense of hip cool for grand overall results. With Brian Macleod taking over the drum duties from departed sticksman Jesse and keyboard/guitar player Tommy T stepping in on a track ...

Boogie Woogie Christmas [Bonus Tracks] (2002) more music like this

by Brian Setzer Orchestra

Brian Setzer takes his horn-fueled big band on a sleigh ride into Christmas/holiday music with generally impressive results. Meshing his rockabilly guitar solos with brassy charts and a lounge/Vegas sensibility that is part tribute and part retro characterization, Setzer dusts off and polishes up obscure nuggets like Kay Starr's "(Everybody's ...

Wolfgang's Big Night Out (2007) more music like this

by Brian Setzer Orchestra

Brian Setzer reconvenes his big band for its first non-Christmas-related set since 2000's Vavoom! Here he rearranges well-known classical themes from Beethoven, Strauss, Mozart, Tchaikovsky, and others into Vegas-ized Rat Pack-era swing. It's a fun concept that buys the guitarist time by not having to compose new material, even though these ...

Heaven Is Creepy (2006) more music like this

by Jim Campilongo

Most instrumental rock albums aren't worth the time it takes to listen to them. They're usually too pretentious, with pickers trying to play free-form jazz/blues licks without the ability to remain focused. Jim Campilongo, the cowboy noir picker from San Francisco who moved to New York to become an in-demand session player and frequent ...

by Bill Wyman's Rhythm Kings

Ever since leaving the Rolling Stones, Bill Wyman has been keeping a low profile -- which isn't quite the same thing as keeping quiet. About a decade after quitting the world's greatest rock & roll band, he formed the Rhythm Kings, a loose collective of friends, pros, and all-stars, all gathered to play the blues, soul, R&B, and old-time rock & ...

This Is Rock Anthems [Cleopatra] (2006) more music like this

by Various Artists

The two-disc This Is Rock Anthems begins with Rick Derringer's "Rock and Roll Hoochie Koo," which was certainly a hit, but an anthem? Quiet Riot's version of Slade's "Cum on Feel the Noize" comes much closer and it's easy to get excited about; same with Pat Travers "Boom, Boom (Out Go the Lights)" and Black Oak Arkansas' "Jim Dandy to the Rescue." ...

Ain't Had Enough Fun (1995) more music like this

by Little Feat

The members of the group that has the legal right to call itself "Little Feat" perhaps are to be complemented for their realization, after three albums, that having Craig Fuller imitate the voice of the band's deceased founder, Lowell George, was ethically suspect. Or maybe they didn't realize; this album's liner notes say only that "mister fuller ...

Loose (1997) more music like this

by Jim Campilongo & the 10 Gallon Cats

On Loose, Jim Campilongo and the 10 Gallon Cats follow up their debut with a similar program of instrumental country-jazz but forgo the more overt blues numbers found on the first disc. The blues feeling is not gone, though, as Campilongo infuses his playing with a rougher, swaggering tone à la Buddy Guy on "Bustin' Up" and "Pluto." In fact, ...

by The Head Cat

Few musicians are as synonymous with heavy metal as Motorhead's Lemmy Kilmister. But long time fans know that ol' Lemmy has tackled other styles over the years, including British Invasion pop (as part of the Rockin' Vicars) and space rock (as part of Hawkwind). Additionally, Lemmy has covered a few country and/or rockabilly tunes over the years, ...

Jim Campilongo may have been influenced by country musicians such as Speedy West, but American Hips probably isn't what people who are unfamiliar with Campilongo's oeuvre would expect from a country record. There isn't someone like pedal steel player Joe Goldmark (who appeared on some of Campilongo's previous recordings) around to remind people of ...

by The Forty Fives

The Forty Fives craft a garage rock sound that is similar to classic '60s bands like Creation. On Get It Together, they combine 13 of their rocking anthems together for one fun, albeit unoriginal, album. Bryan Malone has a great voice for this genre, filled with the type of grit and youthful anger that made their influences so wonderful. There is ...

Time and time again, the Hives have shown that they can crank out consistent, and consistently fun, garage rock.
