Stray Cats • Rocked This Town From LA to London

 

 

Review by Stephen Thomas Erlewine
A collection of highlights from the group's 40th Anniversary tour, a shindig that happened in America and Europe throughout 2019 as they supported their reunion album 40, Rocked This Town: From LA to London showcases a bunch of old cats who still get a kick from playing the old tunes in an old-fashioned way. Save for a little wear and tear on Brian Setzer's voice -- when the album kicks off with "Cat Fight (Over a Dog Like Me)," he's operating at a gravelly rumble -- the Stray Cats don't precisely sound as if they're middle-aged men, save for their taste for rock & roll made the year of their birth. Whether they're playing their old hits, some covers ("Cannonball Rag," "Misirlou," which comes with a shoutout to the then-recently passed Dick Dale) or new tunes, the trio not only sound spry and engaged, but like they never took an extended hiatus.

Reseña de Stephen Thomas Erlewine
Una colección de lo más destacado de la gira del 40 Aniversario del grupo, una fiesta que sucedió en Estados Unidos y Europa a lo largo de 2019 mientras apoyaban su álbum de reunión 40, sacudió Esta ciudad: From LA to London muestra a un grupo de gatos viejos que todavía se divierten tocando las viejas melodías de una manera anticuada. Salvo por un poco de desgaste en la voz de Brian Setzer when cuando el álbum comienza con " Cat Fight( Over a Dog Like Me)", está operando a un estruendo grave the los Stray Cats no suenan precisamente como si fueran hombres de mediana edad, salvo por su gusto por el rock & roll hecho el año de su nacimiento. Ya sea que estén tocando sus viejos éxitos, algunas versiones ("Cannonball Rag"," Misirlou", que viene con un saludo al entonces recientemente fallecido Dick Dale) o nuevas melodías, el trío no solo suena animado y comprometido, sino que parece que nunca tomaron una pausa prolongada.
