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.
