The Brian Setzer Orchestra’s recently released Christmas album, “Rockin’ Rudolph,” and their 12th Annual “Christmas Rocks!” Tour is getting rave reviews! Check out what everyone’s saying below!
“It takes some doing to stand out in the world of Christmas rock albums, but the Brian Setzer Orchestra succeeds. For the Flintstones-themed song alone, this is worth getting. But there’s enough alongside it to keep this album in your annual go-to holiday playlist.”
— Wayne Parry, Associated Press
“Setzer’s guitar solos are beyond description. He throws maximum energy into his performance from the first song to the last.”
— Todd von Kampen, World-Herald/Omaha.com
“Setzer and his players were truly rocking. Whether it was ‘Boogie Woogie Santa,’ ‘Fishnet Stockings’ or a riotous ‘Let’s Shake,’ BSO rocked this town.”
— Jon Bream, STAR TRIBUNE
“Rockin’ Rudolph serves up snazzy season swingers, tunes that revel in their retro-kitch.”
— AllMusic.com
“Setzer was, as always, a sight to behold for those who appreciate musicianship – one of the greatest living guitarists fully utilizing every fret of his Gretsch Hollow Body to pull off things that most guitarists never will.“
— James Zahn, The Rock Father
“Reimagining Christmas songs has been done before, but never this unusually and rarely this well. And there’s not enough praise for the genius in morphing the theme song for the cartoon ‘The Flintstones’ into a new holiday classic, ‘Yaba-Daba Yuletide.’”
— Chuck Yarborough, CLEVELAND PLAIN DEALER
