For every rockabilly festival staged here, there are 10 held overseas.

I put a metronome up to all the songs, and I tried to really keep it true to the original tempos.

With the Stray Cats at least, we really took the music somewhere else. First, we wrote our own songs. That's a real weak point in modern classics if you do rockabilly or blues.

It's not about how loud you turn the amp up. That's not what makes it sound big. What makes it sound big is fooling around with different delays and reverb settings.

Normally, you go into the recording studio, make a record and then take it on the road and you think... wow... I could have done THIS to it, or something.

I'm not God's gift to rockabilly. There's great players out there, and some of them deserve a lot more than they've gotten.

Mark Winchester has left the band. He's decided that he's tired of the road and just wants to concentrate on his career in Nashville. I don't blame him at all. He'll certainly be missed.

Veteran performers are dying off, and new acts simply aren't emerging on the national scene.

What people are afraid of can tell us a lot about society.

If you have an opinion and people disagree with you, you might not get a job. You might be blacklisted. You might have fewer followers on Instagram.

Love was like a steamroller. There was no avoiding it; it went over you and you came out flat.

We all know them — the unstructured person whose every action seems aimless and the totally organized person whose every action defeats some purpose.

Just because I am alone, does not mean I am lonely. I am not you.
