The 12-track album is full of flashy fretwork, thumping bass and Setzer's high-octane vocals as he sings about souped-up motors, vinyl records and gingham-clad femme fatales. He based at least a few of the tunes on real life, including "Vinyl Records." "That was because my daughter discovered vinyl records, and I kind of got a thrill out of that," says Setzer, a three-time Grammy winner.
Other songs draw on long-established rocker culture, like the ode to powerful cars he sings on "I Should'a Had a V-8." "That to me was like a song for the car-club guys," Setzer says. "It has that really nifty tempo change from the Johnny Horton military beat into swing."
