 Stray Cats, Rockabilly Back In The Charts!
Formed in Long Island, New York, in 1979, the Stray Cats comprised of Brian Setzer (guitar and vocals), Lee Rocker (Lee Drucher, stand-up slap bass), and Slim Jim Phantom (James McDonell, drums).
Boosted by some memorable TV appearances - with Setzer's gravity-defying quiff, baby-faced good looks and echo-laden vocals, Phantom's menacing demeanour and aggressive drumming, and Rocker's vigorous bass-slapping routines which accentuated the backbeat, the Stray Cats were perfect TV fodder - it charted immediately, reaching #9, as did the follow-up "Rock This Town".
Their first album "Stray Cats" - produced by Dave Edmunds, whom they backed on a revival of George Jones' "The Race Is On" - was also a massive seller, reaching #6 in March 1981, as was their next single "Stray Cat Strut", which just missed the Top 10 a month later.

One of the great unspoken things about the Stray Cats is that they just didn't have that many hits.
The fact that the Stray Cats were so fondly remembered not only by kids of the early '80s, but by older and younger listeners alike, just shows how good those three hits are; they really held their own next to any '50s rockabilly classic.
However, they're not all the Stray Cats had to offer, as the 2000 expanded version of Greatest Hits illustrates.

As befitted the recessionary times, the Stray Cats were simple: their stage setup was one amplifier and two drums (using wireless technology, the bass went straight into the PA system).
