Brian Setzer will release a new solo album, “The The devil always collects. Ahead of the album’s release, the Stray Cats frontman shared the record’s lead single, “Girl on the Billboard,” and a string of tour dates for 2023, his first live performance in four years.
the devil is always collecting This is Setzer’s eleventh solo production, co-produced with Julian Raymond and sound mixer Chris Lord-Alge. A press release promised “superb” guitar riffs and “nonstop freight train beats” that would appease “fans of rock, Americana, country rock and punk”. Pre-orders are underway.
Like much of Setzer’s work, “Girl on Billboard” sounds essentially retro. The song was first popularized in 1965 by country music singer Del Reeves. “It’s an old trucker song,” Setzer added in a statement. “At first I didn’t get the sound I wanted until I picked up my Gretsch 1957 Duo Jet 6131 Firebird. I mean, the sound was horrible, dirty, pungent.”
Setzer’s North American “Rockabilly Riot” tour kicks off September 27th at the Count Basie Theater in Red Bank, NJ. The itinerary included Nashville, Cincinnati, Chicago and more, and concluded on October 13 in Setzer’s “second hometown” Minneapolis.
Tickets are now on sale in Setzer via StubHub, your order is 100% guaranteed through StubHub’s FanProtect program.
Setzer was last scheduled to tour in 2019, but the musician was forced to cancel tour dates after he was diagnosed with severe tinnitus.
