This 18-track compilation charts the first two of those phases, with an intriguing mish-mash of singles, b-sides, album cuts, live-versions and out-takes. Three of the four Stray Cats items are the stripped-down energetic rockabilly hits that brought them to fame, while the fourth is a surprisingly sweet a capella version of the single \"I Won't Stand In Your Way\". Some of Setzer's earliest solo items are a tad clumsy, as if he had trouble adjusting from the 12-bar simplicity of rockabilly to the relative complexity of his new singer-songwriter role but, by the time he launches into the Byrds-esque guitar chimes and impeccable Everly Brothers harmonies of \"Every Tear That Falls\", it's hard to deny that the man is not just a superlative guitarist but also an estimable vocalist and composer. Whether he's rocking out with a big brass section on \"When The Sky Comes Tumblin' Down\" or schmaltzing his way through a weepy orchestral ballad like \"The Rain Washed Everything Away\", Setzer's sheer professionalism is never in doubt. This kind of archive raiding usually turns up sub-standard tracks that the artist was wise not to release in the first place but the best of Setzer's throwaways are exceptionally good indeed. --Johnny Black\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eUPC:\u003c\/b\u003e 724352253821\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eEAN:\u003c\/b\u003e 0724352253821\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eModel:\u003c\/b\u003e CD5225382\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguages:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding:\u003c\/b\u003e audioCD\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eItem Condition:\u003c\/b\u003e UsedVeryGood\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"ID Shop.ca","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45968677437474,"sku":"AY-EP3C-RF9N","price":5.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0889\/9428\/3554\/files\/51CGzjPhYNL.jpg?v=1783687851","url":"https:\/\/kastor.club\/fr\/products\/brian-setzer-collection-81-88","provider":"Kastor","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
