Howling to the Moonlight on a Hot Summer Night : The Tale of the Stray Cats
The Stray Cats - Book - by Christopher McKittrick
(2024)
While New Wave pop music was dominating the charts in the early 1980s, one band made up of a trio of throwback-loving musicians from the suburbs of Massapequa, Long Island—guitarist/singer Brian Setzer, drummer Slim Jim Phantom, and bassist Lee Rocker—returned rockabilly to the international pop charts as the Stray Cats, releasing such infectious Top 10 singles “Rock This Town,” “Stray Cat Strut,” and “(She’s) Sexy + 17.”
Over forty years and many classic studio and live albums later, the Stray Cats still epitomize the spirit of the founding fathers of rock and roll—a coolness that never goes out of style. Howling to the Moonlight on a Hot Summer Night: The Story of the Stray Cats tells the full story of the band’s history and catalog as musicians. It not only celebrates the Cats as one of the most successful rock revival groups, but follows their exploits as a throwback act in the years when MTV was still new, going on to enjoy long-lived popularity in rockabilly culture across the globe from Massapequa to Memphis and beyond.
