Critic Reviews

The Stray Cats, a fiery rock trio from Long Island, transposed the raw 1950s rockabilly of Eddie Cochran into the glossy mediascape of 1980s pop culture. The band exploded in England two years before their debut American album catapulted to the top of the U.S. charts. By that time, the fickle UK press had turned on them, and it wouldn't take long for the U.S. to follow suit, leading to disappointing sales on their second record and the first of many break-ups. McKittrick tracks their meteoric success, dissolution, reunions, and outside projects (critics had a field day making puns about their 'nine lives'), including the remarkable comeback of lead singer and guitarist Brian Setzer with his Grammy-winning swing ensemble. McKittrick packs the book with facts, figures, and dates.... Stray Cats fans and music lovers in general will appreciate this exhaustively researched document of the group's influential and lengthy career.
