生于纽约长岛的Brian Setzer除了担任主唱和吉他外,也包办大部分的词曲创作,同时也拥有一付典型的复古嗓音,唱起Rockabilly式的摇滚还颇有一些猫王的神韵,因此也引来更多的瞩目。所以便先单飞于10年代中期发行个人专辑The Knife Feels Like Justice,著名的吉他手Steve Van Zant(Bruce Springsteen乐团)也为他抓刀写歌,该专辑获得不错的好评。
当1994年Stray Cats宣告解散后,Setzer出了一张更复古的Swing风味专辑Brian Setzer Orchestra,从专辑名称便可知道这绝非简单的乐器编制,因为弥漫着大乐团 (Big Band)的调性。是一张独特的专辑.由于这种复古的音乐颇受好评和叫座,所以Setzer于1998年再以大乐团的型式出版一张The Dirty Boogie,专辑内重唱了猫王的电影"赌城万岁"中的歌曲You're the Boss,由于原本是由猫王和安玛格丽特对唱,所以Setzer便找来No Doubt的主唱Gwen Stefani来搭档,虽然并无走红,但以Stefani目前的气势来看,这首曲子倒相当具有意义。
另一个有趣的现象是: 他于1996年替阿诺史瓦辛格的电影"一路响叮当" (Jingle All the Way)作了几首曲子当配乐后,似乎对圣诞歌曲蛮有兴趣的,2002、2004和今年都出版了圣诞节应景专辑。
The Brian Setzer Orchestra (sometimes going by the acronym BSO) is a swing and jump blues band formed in 1990 by Stray Cats frontman Brian Setzer. The group had success covering Louis Prima's "Jump Jive an' Wail", which appeared in Prima's 1957 album The Wildest!. The BSO's follow up single was "Gettin' In the Mood."
The orchestra is one of the only acts from the Swing Revival of the 1990s which still maintains a high level of popularity. The BSO is commonly seen during the December holidays covering Christmas songs and often play the Rockefeller Center tree lighting ceremony.
