In the 1990s, Setzer led a comeback of sorts for swing music and big band
music, when he formed Brian Setzer Orchestra. The band has released 5 albums
to date and one live DVD. This group had one hit, "Jump, Jive, and Wail"
around the same time songs like the Cherry Poppin' Daddies' "Zoot Suit Riot"
had been received favorably in mainstream America.
Brian Setzer also recorded some solo albums during Stray Cats' break in the
1980s along with some in the 1990s. In 2001 he released an album titled
Ignition with his band '68 Comeback Special. A new solo album titled
Rockabilly Riot Vol. 1: A Tribute To Sun Records was released on July 26,
2005, in the United States. |
