A personal favorite band from when I was in high school. What I love about the Stray Cats is that they reintroduced a 1950's sound to a then-current mainstream audience, but they did it without a condescending, parodying, approach to "old" style music, which, if we're going to be honest, a lot of bands from the previous decade in the 1970's, during the whole "Fifties Nostalgia Fad" did. Sadly, those other bands were also talented, but they caved in to mainstream pre-perceptions the way they presented their music, whereas, The Stray Cats, dictated and led the mainstream...with attitude.... The Stray Cats, with their original songs like this, presented rockabilly as an energetic, admittedly vintage approach, to music for the young. In other words, "Sexy and 17" (as well as "Rock This Town," "Something's Wrong With My Radio," "Fishnet Stockings," "Hot Rod Gang," and others) was a badass Rock and Roll presentation of vintage-style music to the mainstream, and not "quaint and cute nostalgic oldies."
But at this concert I still didn't have the Rolan Space Echo 301 I think. He started buying these Roland Space Echo 301s in the mid 80's from what I believe.
@@isaia1100 soy de argentina! Creo que tienes razón! Estuve leyendo y dicen que por ejemplo "rock this Town" lo grabó conectando su guitarra directamente a una consola Eden Studios’ SSL 4000E. Y eso explicaría por qué su guitarra sonaba diferente en sus primeros tres discos!
Wow the legendary Stray Cats. Kings of rockabilly. ❤ u still in 2023.
