Release: Brian Setzer – The Devil always collect

ICONIC GUITARIST BRIAN SETZER RELEASES NEW ALBUM! THE DEVIL ALWAYS COLLECTS – OUT ON SEPTEMBER 15 VIA SURFDOG RECORDS

Creative sparks and killer riffs are flying everywhere on Brian Setzer’s new album The Devil Always Collects out September 15 via Surfdog Records. The 3-time Grammy award-winner’s guitar work is bracingly virtuosic and blazing, and his irresistible vocals thrillingly deliver the clever storylines of 11 catchy songs

Add in non-stop breakneck rhythms, and you have an album—produced by Brian Setzer and Julian Raymond and mixed by Chris Lord-Alge—that stands with Setzer’s best. It’s always been Brian’s special talent to inject the roots of rock with a contemporary freshness that unites fans of rock, Americana, rockabilly, and punk.

Although Brian has a 40-year career as a solo artist, leader of The Brian Setzer Orchestra and as a Stray Cat, he continues to play with a jaw-dropping level of vigor.

Scroll down to listen or watch the first song, the fast and hard-hitting Girl On The Billboard. “It’s an old truckers song,” says BRIAN about the song popularized in 1965 by country music singer Del Reeves. “At first I wasn’t getting the sound I wanted until I picked up my Gretsch 1957 Duo Jet 6131 Firebird. I mean, the sound is monstrous, dirty and twangy.”

LYRICS:
Doo-da-doo-doo-doo
Ah-doo-doo-doo-doo

Who is the girl wearing nothing but a smile
And a towel in the picture on the billboard in the field near the big ol’ highway?
Rolling down the highway in my jimmy hauling freight
From Chicago to St. Louis, lord, I see her everyday
Oh, a double-clutchin’ weasel like me can hardly ever get a girl to look at him that way
Like the girl wearing nothing but a smile
And a towel in the picture on the billboard in the field near the big ol’ highway

Ah-doo-doo-doo-doo
Ah-doo-doo-doo-doo

Well, what a girl wearing nothing but a smile
And a towel in the picture on the billboard in the field near the big ol’ highway
I bet it wouldn’t take her very long to be gone
If someone would pull a dirty trick and take her towel away
I slow my jimmy down to twenty, that’s how many wrecks I see there every day
Caused by the girl wearing nothing but a smile
And a towel in the picture on the billboard in the field near the big ol’ highway

Ah-doo-doo-doo-doo
Ah-doo-doo-doo-doo

Oh, I love the girl wearing nothing but a smile
And a towel in the picture on the billboard in the field near the big ol’ highway
I guess I’m getting bolder ‘cause I’d rather kiss and hold her
Than just keep looking at her every day
At 4:45, coffee drinking, eating time, jimmy shimmies
While I woke up the artist that painted the display
Of the girl wearing nothing but a smile
And a towel in the picture on the billboard in the field near the big ol’ highway

Doggone that girl wearing nothing but a smile
And a towel in the picture on the billboard in the field near the big ol’ highway
Sleepy-headed painter said the girl wasn’t real and I’d better get the woo on my way
On route 66 from the billboard to Chicago
You’ll find tiny pieces of my heart scattered every which way
Shattered by the girl wearing nothing but a smile
And a towel in the picture on the billboard in the field near the big ol’ highway

Ah-doo-doo-doo-doo
Ah-doo-doo-doo-doo
Doo-da-doo-doo-doo
Ah-doo-doo-doo-doo
