Brian Robert Setzer is an American guitarist and songwriter. He found widespread success in the early 1980s with the 1950s-style rockabilly group Stray Cats, revitalized his career in the early 1990s with his swing revival band, the Brian Setzer Orchestra. Setzer was born April 1959 in New York, he played in jazz bands when he was in school. He found a way to hear jazz at the Village Vanguard, though as he got older he got interested in rock and rockabilly, he was the Tomcats, which he began with his brother, Gary. The Tomcats became the Stray Cats when double bassist Lee Rocker and drummer Slim Jim Phantom joined and Gary left the band. In 1980, thinking they might have more success in England than in America, they sold their instruments to pay for airplane tickets and flew to London. After performing in London for a few months, they met Dave Edmunds, a guitarist and record producer who shared their love of rockabilly and 1950s' rock and roll. Edmunds produced their debut album, Stray Cats, which yielded two hit singles, "Stray Cat Strut" and "Rock This Town".

The second album, Gonna Ball, was less successful. The band returned to America and released Built for Speed, produced again by Dave Edmunds, with songs collected from their first two albums. Helped by their music videos on MTV, the Stray Cats became popular in America, their next album, Rant n' Rave with the Stray Cats produced the hit " Sexy + 17". The Stray Cats disbanded in 1984, though they reunited recorded, toured. After recording three albums with different producers, they returned to Dave Edmunds for Choo Choo Hot Fish. After the Stray Cats disbanded in 1984, Setzer began a solo career that included working as a sideman for other acts, such as the Honeydrippers led by Robert Plant. On his first solo album, The Knife Feels Like Justice, he turned away from rockabilly and moved toward rhythm and blues and the heartland rock of John Mellencamp; the album was featured Kenny Aronoff on drums. Both men had worked on albums by Mellencamp, his second studio album Live Nude Guitars followed in 1988 with Setzer serving as co-producer along with Larson Paine, Chris Thomas and David A. Stewart.

Setzer returned to his love of music from this time the jump blues of Louis Prima. In the 1980s, he resurrected rockabilly, in the 1990s, swing, he assembled the Brian Setzer Orchestra, a seventeen piece big band that got the public's attention with a cover version of Prima's "Jump, Jive an' Wail" from the album The Dirty Boogie. The song won the Grammy Award for Best Pop Performance by a Duo or Group with Vocals, while "Sleep Walk" from the same album won the Grammy for Best Pop Instrumental Performance; the album Wolfgang's Big Night Out featured Setzer's interpretation of classical pieces, such as Beethoven's "Symphony No. 5" and "Für Elise". Wolfgang earned Setzer this time for Best Classical Crossover Album, he executive produced the album Ready Steady Go! by Drake Bell and played guitar on two songs. Setzer has been married three times, most in 2005 to Julie Reiten, a former singer with the Dustbunnies. Orville H.

Love Is Strange: En Vivo Con Tino is the fourth live album by American singer-songwriter Jackson Browne, 16th official studio or live album. A 2-CD live set released on the Inside Recordings label in 2010, the album documents a March 2006 tour of Spain that Browne and David Lindley took part in with Spanish percussionist Tino di Geraldo; the seven shows of the tour in Spain were followed by four in the United Kingdom. The album preserves performances by guest Spanish musicians flutist Carlos Núñez, vocalists Kiko Veneno and Luz Casal, banduria player Javier Mas; some songs have introductions spoken by Browne in Spanish. The album won at the 2011 Independent Music Awards in the Live Performance Album category, was nominated for a 2011 Grammy Award for Best Contemporary Folk Album, it peaked at No. 46 on the Billboard 200 albums chart and No. 1 on the Billboard Magazine Folk Albums chart. It reached No. 17 on Billboard's Rock Albums chart and No. 5 on Billboard's Independent Albums chart. In the liner notes to the album, Browne wrote that the 2006 tour of Spain was the idea of Paco Pérez Bryan, who suggested Browne bring Lindley, who has toured off and on with Browne for 40 years and has recorded off and on with him since 1973's For Everyman.

The tour dates were March 9 and 10, 2006, in Madrid, Spain at Galileo Galilei, March 11, 2006 in Oviedo, Spain at Teatro Campoamor, March 16, 2006 in Bilbao, Spain at Sala Santana 27, March 17, 2006 in Palma de Mallorca, Spain at Auditorium de Palma De Mallorca, March 18, 2006 in Zaragoza, Spain at History Center Backyard, March 22, 2006 in Barcelona, Spain at Palau de la Música. No recordings were made from the show at Palma de Mallorca because of difficulties transporting the recording equipment, according to Browne. In his review for Allmusic Thom Jurek wrote that the album "could have been an experiment that failed miserably, drenched in nostalgia and excess, he wrote: "beautifully recorded, this set shows what Browne is capable of when he has musical foils who will not allow him to rest on his laurels."Rolling Stone rated the album three and a half out of five stars. Music critic Will Hermes said the album is "an album to please fans who didn't follow Jackson Browne on his Eighties detour into fight-the-power songs."

Commenting on the performances, he wrote: "Browne's voice has aged, Lindley's liquid slide is exquisite. The resulting performances are less renderings than transformations." Browne, "with a crucial assist from Lindley... fluidly unifies his entire body of work."
