Brian Setzer People Quotations

Robert Plant is one of the nicest people you'll ever meet, never mind rock star. He's so down to earth.

A lot of people put all that stuff on a pedestal, and they won't touch it. But I don't think that's the reason they did that. I think they played that stuff out of pure joy.

I can't tell you how many people have asked me to show them Stray Cat Strut and that little diminished run on the C. I guess my brain is wired backwards. I don't know what possessed me to do that, but I did.

People out there maybe know who Junior Parker is and some of those Sun Records blues guys.

Those drum parts were so integral to that original rockabilly. People don't play that anymore. A lot of those original drum fills were kept.

I wanted to keep it authentic, ... I even went as far as copying the original drum parts. I felt that was an overlooked part of those recordings. Now when people play rockabilly they ignore the little fills and tricks they used.

The inspiration for this was my son, who's 18, ... I was playing some old Sun Records, and he and his friends rushed into the room and loved it. I thought that if I did a Sun tribute record I could get more young people to listen to it.
