Brian Setzer ’68 Comeback Special: Ignition!
Released: 24th July 2020
Brian Setzer ’68 Comeback Special: Ignition was originally released in 2001. Following fronting The Brian Setzer Orchestra in the 1990s, ‘Ignition!’ marks Setzer's return to purist rockabilly, fronting a trio, named the Brian Setzer '68 Comeback Special, in homage to 1968 TV Special of Elvis Presley. The album continued his mission to not just preserve rockabilly, but to keep it alive as a fresh form of music. The record also saw an appearance of The Clash’s Joe Strummer on the song ‘Who Would Love This Car But Me.’
Iconic guitarist, songwriter, vocalist and 3-time Grammy award-winner BRIAN SETZER is a "Musician's Musician" credited with continually taking chances with innovative and daring musical styles.
Setzer is widely credited for taking two forgotten genres, rockabilly and swing, adding his own blend of gunpowder and rockin style, and completely reinventing and single-handedly resurrecting them in the process. Along the way, he has scored chart-topping hits, sold 13 million record and received the Orville H. Gibson Lifetime Achievement Award throughout his decorated career as founder/leader of the Stray Cats, his 19-piece Brian Setzer Orchestra, and as a solo artist. He is consistently cited as one of the world’s greatest living guitarists, and has a best-selling, extensive line of elite Gretsch signature model guitars bearing his name. SETZER is also, fittingly, in the Rockabilly Hall of Fame. BRIAN appeared in the 1987 film, La Bamba, portraying rockabilly pioneer Eddie Cochran.
In 2002, BRIAN earned the privilege of being one of the few musicians to be animated in an episode of “The Simpsons.” That same year, SETZER was personally requested to induct Chet Atkins into the 17th Annual Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. SETZER had the honor of being invited in 2006 to perform at the White House for the President of the United States. In 2014, SETZER received the distinct honor of being asked by the Smithsonian Institution in Washington, D.C. to donate a replica of his original 1959 Gretsch 6120 “Stray Cat” guitar, joining an elite collection of iconic treasures at the museum.
