Don't be afraid to take liberties with this music. Try and put some of yourself into it.
- Dumb
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
Elvis is not so difficult as Johnny Cash because his voice is so distinctive. If you try to copy Johnny Cash, it's just going to sound dumb.
- Me

- Nov 07, 2020
I can't tell you how many people have asked me to show them Stray Cat Strut and that little diminished run on the C. I guess my brain is wired backwards. I don't know what possessed me to do that, but I did.
- Guitar

- Nov 07, 2020
I didn't want to take the guitar solos down note-for-note, but more or less use them as a map, and keep all the hooks from the guitar playing, and let myself come through.
- Nov 07, 2020
I put a metronome up to all the songs, and I tried to really keep it true to the original tempos.
- Difficult

I wanted to go back to Sun. Unfortunately, most of the gear is gone from Sun. The way I take it now, it's almost like a tourist destination. So, it would have been pretty difficult to have brought all the gear into Sun to make it like it was in the '50's.
- God

- Nov 07, 2020
I'm not God's gift to rockabilly. There's great players out there, and some of them deserve a lot more than they've gotten.
- Blue

- Nov 07, 2020
It is hard to play Blue Suede Shoes. I know everyone has heard it 10 million times, and that makes it even harder to play it, but there's a very laid back tempo on that. I was surprised at how slow it really was.
- Big
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
It's not about how loud you turn the amp up. That's not what makes it sound big. What makes it sound big is fooling around with different delays and reverb settings.
- He
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
Mark Winchester has left the band. He's decided that he's tired of the road and just wants to concentrate on his career in Nashville. I don't blame him at all. He'll certainly be missed.

People out there maybe know who Junior Parker is and some of those Sun Records blues guys.
- Big Band
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
Since the big band started I'm just always swamped with movies and things. It certainly pays the bills and it's very satisfying, because I get to write all these big charts and all this crazy music.
- Chord
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
The jazz chord substitutions in a country song... that was another thing that bent people's ears. I guess that my favorites are the unique ones. It's not how fast you play. It's that unique blending of different stuff I'm most proud of.

- Nov 07, 2020
To keep creating something with this type of music, you have to take it out of the box.
- New
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
Veteran performers are dying off, and new acts simply aren't emerging on the national scene.
- Crazy
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
We weren't afraid to mix some crazy styles into the standard rockabilly look. We also took a lot of different musical influences that were part of that era.
- Music
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
With the Stray Cats at least, we really took the music somewhere else. First, we wrote our own songs. That's a real weak point in modern classics if you do rockabilly or blues.
- Service

- Nov 07, 2020
I always thought when I hit 50 years old that'd be it for the travel. I don't have to tell you - you wait at an airport, your flight's delayed, get on a 14-hour flight, get off, get stuck in traffic, you get to the hotel and the room service is closed.

Robert Plant is one of the nicest people you'll ever meet, never mind rock star. He's so down to earth.
- Great
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
Just because you put super great musicians together, it doesn't mean you're going to have that chemistry as a band.
- Love

I love Glen Campbell. He never gets a mention.
- Never
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
Rock and roll and swing never quite mixed. Rock and roll came in and just blew everything out of the water. Big bands were dead.
- Big Band
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
I started a big band when grunge was popular. I mean, that didn't make much sense.
