Stray Cats – The Very Best Of

Stray Cats – The Very Best Of

Reviving the spirit of 1950s rock & roll for a new generation, The Very Best Of brings together the essential recordings from Stray Cats, the trio who spearheaded the rockabilly revival of the early 1980s. Led by the virtuosic guitar playing of Brian Setzer, alongside bassist Lee Rocker and drummer Slim Jim Phantom, the band fused vintage rock & roll with contemporary energy to become one of the defining acts of the era.

Drawing inspiration from pioneers such as Elvis Presley, Carl Perkins, Eddie Cochran, and Gene Vincent, Stray Cats combined slap bass, twanging guitars, and infectious rhythms with a fresh, modern attitude. Their distinctive sound found international success and introduced rockabilly to a whole new audience.

This career-spanning collection features the band's biggest hits, including Rock This Town, Stray Cat Strut, Runaway Boys, (She's) Sexy + 17, and Rumble In Brighton, alongside fan favourites such as Look At That Cadillac, Storm The Embassy, Something's Wrong With My Radio, and 18 Miles To Memphis. Packed with timeless riffs, irresistible grooves, and high-energy performances, it's the perfect introduction to one of rock's most exciting live bands.

Whether you're discovering Stray Cats for the first time or revisiting their classic recordings, The Very Best Of is an essential collection celebrating one of the most successful rockabilly bands of the modern era.
