Setzer,Brian - Gotta Have The Rumble (Black LP Gatefold Sleeve) (Sealed) (LP)

BRIAN SETZER TO RELEASE ‘GOTTA HAVE THE RUMBLE,’ HIS FIRST SOLO ALBUM IN 7 YEARS! Brian Setzer, iconic guitarist, songwriter, vocalist and 3-time Grammy award-winner, returns with his first solo album in years! “Gotta Have The Rumble” is a red-hot album from start to finish, featuring 11 songs that are full of dynamism and bravado. The first single off the new record, “Checkered Flag,” is co-written by Setzer and his Stray Cats bandmate Slim Jim Phantom. The album is classic rockabilly at its absolute finest and showcases Setzer at the top of his career. First single dropping June 25 and full length album out digitally August 27. Produced by Julian Raymond (Glen Campbell and Cheap Trick), GOTTA HAVE THE RUMBLE contains songs, all written or co-written by Setzer, and was recorded in Minneapolis (Setzer’s adopted hometown) and Nashville. GOTTA HAVE THE RUMBLE is a red-hot album from start to finish--American music amped up to 10--with songs that are full of dynamism and bravado. Highlights include “Checkered Flag,” “Smash Up On Highway One,” “Drip Drop,” “The Cat with 9 Wives,” “One Bad Habit” and “Rockabilly Banjo.” “Obviously, it’s a reference to my motorcycles and hot rods, something that hasn’t changed since I was 15 years old,” says SETZER about the album title GOTTA HAVE THE RUMBLE. “I still have the same passion for going fast and adrenaline. But it’s also about my hearing problem with tinnitus--the ringing of the ear. It was pretty bad, and I realized that I couldn’t play the way I wanted to. As I recovered, standing in front of a small amplifier just didn’t cut it. The sound from my big amp makes the guitar rumble. Which is a big part of my sound. I was really despondent for a while because I thought I wouldn’t be able to do that again. So, ‘Gotta Have The Rumble’ refers to both of those things.”
