If you want to learn how to sing like the Stray Cats, then you need to understand the unique sound they produce. The Stray Cats are known for their energetic blend of rockabilly, rock and roll, blues, and swing music. Brian Setzer created his own brand of rockabilly music, adding some distinctive guitar riffs along with his unique vocal techniques. His style is well-suited for beginner to intermediate singers looking to improve their rockabilly vocals.

Setzer is known for his smooth, bright vocals. He often uses a mix of falsetto and head voice to create a unique sound that is both powerful and playful. To sing like him, you need to start by identifying his vocal range.

Once you understand your vocal range, you can start to develop your technique. One of the essential elements of Setzer's style is a clean and crisp articulation. To achieve this, you need to practice your enunciation and breathing techniques. You also need to learn how to control your breath without creating constriction in your throat.

Another characteristic of Setzer's technique is his use of twang and distortion in his singing. To master these techniques, you can use some of the exercises on Singing Carrots, such as the 'Twang Exercise' and 'How to Growl Exercise'. With practice, you can learn to create a distinctive sound with your vocals that is similar to Setzer's style.
