Stray Cats - 40

Limited edition white vinyl reissue

Celebrating their 40th anniversary in 2019, the Stray Cats released 40, their first album in 26 years. Brian Setzer (guitar, vocals), Lee Rocker (bass, vocals) and Slim Jim Phantom (drums, vocals) — are original founding members of the iconic and acclaimed American rock and roll trio.

The song titles alone-including "Cat Fight (Over A Dog Like Me)," "Rock It Off," "Mean Pickin' Mama" and "Devil Train" — instantly let listeners know they're in for a non-stop rocking time.

The Stray Cats recorded 40 at Blackbird Studios in Nashville in late 2018 after their first North American shows in 10 years, with four concerts including sold-out headlining shows in Las Vegas and the Pacific Amphitheatre in Costa Mesa, CA before wildly enthusiastic audiences. Still buzzing from the thrill of playing together again and the crowd response, they went into the studio with producer Peter Collins (Rush, Bon Jovi, The Brian Setzer Orchestra) and engineer Vance Powell (Jack White, Chris Stapleton, Arctic Monkeys). There are a dozen original songs that comprise the album.
