ROCKABILLY RIOT!: ALL ORIGINAL was recorded in Nashville and produced by Peter Collins with SETZER backed by three musicians he says "are the best in their craft": Mark Winchester (bass), Kevin McKendree (piano) and Noah Levy (drums). NEWSDAY raves, "He's at his best in 'The Girl With the Blues in Her Eyes,' where he channels Gene Vincent filtered through Paul McCartney for a should-be classic (8/11)." Elsewhere, Sam Gnerre of LOS ANGELES DAILY NEWS (8/8) praises the album as "a state-of-the-art modern rockabilly album that's a total blast," while VINTAGE GUITAR (October 2014) says: "Three decades, umpteen records, and several stellar bands into his career, and Brian Setzer still makes rockabilly sound fresh and exciting...Setzer's playing is much more complex…his fretwork has grown to include numerous other, more far-reaching influences, particularly from vintage jazz…his mature creativity and fretwork brilliance will make you a believer."
Speaking with ESQUIRE.COM's Dan Hyman about the new album, SETZER notes that "this one just spoke to me," adding, "Once you get that idea of what you wanna write, you get excited about it. And once you move in that direction they do come hot and heavy. It really is a gift from somewhere. The songbird comes." (August 11, 2014)

Be sure to pick up ANONYMOUS, the novel that Publishers Weekly hailed as a "well-crafted piece of experimental, voyeuristic fiction..." and "a winning jumble of the gritty, the raw, and the grotesque" at http://www.tanamor.com/p/anonymous.html.
