Still buzzing from the thrill of playing together again and crowd response, they went into the studio with producer Peter Collins(Rush, Bon Jovi, The Brian Setzer Orchestra) and engineer Vance Powell (Jack White, Chris Stapleton, Arctic Monkeys). There are a dozen original songs that comprise the album. Here’s what the guys have to say: Brian Setzer: "You have to understand how unique The Stray Cats are. It’s me playing an old hollow body guitar, Slim Jim playing two or three drums, and Lee Rocker slapping a stand-up acoustic bass.  I get to write new songs and then play them with my buddies.  Somehow we created a new and exciting sound with this simple idea.  And you know what? A lot of people agree!" Lee Rocker: “This new album really feels like the first record we did, it’s really natural and comfortable. For the recording, we went live--like doing a gig, we recorded in a real, organic way.  We were all in one room standing next to each other recording live, with the amps turned up to 10, it captured the undefinable things that happen when a band is great, it captured the magic that takes place and an undefined spark.”   Slim Jim Phantom: “We’re very, very focused when we get into the studio, it didn’t feel like a long time had passed since we had done this, it felt very natural and familiar.  We were all in a row with everyone watching each other, so it felt like a gig in the set-up.  We really embraced that a little bit for the album, it’s like an old way of making records.  The modern is meeting the vintage, which has always been our inspiration.” ‘40’ Tracklisting Cat Fight (Over A Dog Like Me) Rock It Off I’ve Got Love If You Want It Cry Danger I Attract Trouble Three Time’s A Charm That’s Messed Up When Nothing’s Going Right Desperado Mean Pickin’ Mama I’ll Be Looking Out For You Devil Train +Bonus tracks - Box Set ONLY CRY BABY (LIVE in Orange County, CA 2018) DOUBLE TALKIN’ BABY (LIVE in Orange County, CA 2018) The Stray Cats from L-R: Lee Rocker, Brian Setzer, Slim Jim Phantom By Russ Harrington European/UK Tour 2019 Fri 21 Jun - Azkena Rock Festival, Spain  Sun 23 Jun - 02 Academy, Birmingham Tues 25 Jun - 02 Apollo, Manchester Wed 26 June - Hammersmith Apollo, London Thurs 27 June - Hammersmith Apollo, London Sat 29 June - Retro C Trop, France                                                Mon 01 July - AFAS Live, Netherlands       Wed 03 July – Columbiahalle, Germany          Thurs 04 July – Palladium, Germany      Sat 06 July - American Tours Festival, France  Sun 07 July - Les Eurockeennes, France Tues 09 July – Killesberg, Germany     Thurs 11 July - Zenith, Germany   Fri 12 July - X-Tra, Switzerland    Sat 13 July - Musilac Festival, France  Thurs 18 July - Pori Jazz Festival, Finland    Sat 20 July - Summer Jamboree, Sweden
