Stray Cats – Live at Rockpalast (DVD and CD)

Throughout the 1980s no band, not even The Cramps, were as crucial as The Stray Cats in bringing Rockabilly to the masses. Yes, there may have been a little more pop-sheen to their songs than traditionalists cared for, but this Long Island-based trio brought a fresh version of rock, country, and boogie woogie to a global audience of teens that were OD-ing on sterile New Wave bands at the time.
