What number album is "Songs from Lonely Avenue" by BRIAN SETZER? BRIAN SETZER is now known not only through his band the Stray Cats but also to many people who do not come from the rockabilly scene. This is partly because Setzer has always sought themes outside of the traditional scene. When the swing revival last emerged, he was right there at the forefront. With "Songs from Lonely Avenue," an album is being released for the first time where Setzer has written all the songs himself. One can hardly experience the master guitarist in a purer form. He is accompanied on the thirteen songs of the album by his 18-piece big band. Although 'accompanied' might be the wrong word; they all play together. The instruments of the band are just as prominent as the guitar and the perfectly placed voice of BRIAN SETZER. Musically, this record is really beautiful. It transports you back 40 years. The songs have a lot of jazz in their veins, but also swing, funk, blues, and the orchestral arrangement of a big band with brass instruments, which takes you back to the good old days, to films featuring Humphrey Bogart as well as other films from the first wave of film noir. BRIAN SETZER and his orchestra have arranged thirteen great songs that should appeal not only to film fans but to anyone who values sophisticated music and can lose themselves in it. "Songs from Lonely Avenue" is a tribute to the era of film noir and the music that belongs to it.
