"Don't Mess With A Big Band" is a sizzling recording of The Brian Setzer Orchestra's 2009 tour of Japan. Brian is in rare form and the display of guitar-playing (raw and live as it was played on the night) is truly jaw-dropping! The album contains all of his biggest hits (Stray Cats & The Brian Setzer Orchestra) and includes a couple of rare gems that he had never previously performed live.
