New York, NY (Top40 Charts/ Shore Fire Media) Brian Setzer's "chops sound as sharp as ever" on his latest album 'Setzer Goes Instru-MENTAL!' out now on Surfdog Records. The genre-defying guitarist's first completely instrumental effort was praised by New York Post's Dan Aquilante, who wrote that it "again shows off how [Setzer's] one of the most overachieving, yet underappreciated and sophisticated, guitarists in music." Here's what other critics have to say about 'Setzer Goes Instru-MENTAL!': "Country ("Pickpocket") slams head-on into Les Paul-style jazz fretwork ("Far Noir East"), and then detours into fuzzy, vibrato-rich Ventures-style rock ("Hot Love")." - New York Post "Filled with an unorthodox mix of jazz, bluegrass, and mid-century rock...a powerful showcase." - The Washington Times "Blazing chops, take-no-prisoners showmanship, and hot-rod tinkerer's mentality...blending styles from California to the Appalachians to the Big Apple." - Guitar Player "Showcases his impressive talents and the breadth of his playing like never before...Deserves a prominent place alongside hillbilly jazz classics." - Guitar Aficionado "Long time fans will probably drool over this release, while it makes a great intro for newbies." - Technorati "One of guitardom's most iconic musicians...an instantly pleasurable listen." - Premier Guitar "Another elegant affirmation of Setzer's legacy and a beautiful betrayal of what we tend to expect from guitar records." - The Vinyl District
