If you remember the hits from the 80's then you'll remember Brian Setzer, the front man for the Stray Cats, who revived Rockabilly with hits like Stray Cat Strut and Rock This Town Tonight. Then, as a solo artist with The Brian Setzer Orchestra, combining Rockabilly and Big Band Jazz, he launched a successful second act with songs like the Grammie Award winning Jump Jive An' Wail. Now, every Christmas, he performs one of the greatest live Christmas shows anywhere with a huge sound of a seventeen piece band and his blazing guitar.
Today, you'll hear three cuts from this rocker who knows how to do hot Christmas tunes. I had the pleasure of seeing The Brian Setzer Orchestra right here in God's Country when he opened for Bob Dylan - a strange mixture of artists, but great performances by both.

So - To get you ready for all the Christmas parties coming up, enjoy some serious Big Band/Rockabilly Christmas Tunes from Brian Setzer and his Orchestra - No.12 on the 2017 Christmas Countdown with a couple of bonus tunes thrown in - JINGLE BELLS, BLUE CHRISTMAS & ROCKIN' AROUND THE CHRISTMAS TREE.
When in doubt, just say Merry Christmas! And rock around your very own Christmas tree.
