Chanteur et contrebassiste Rockabilly US né Lee Drucker
à Long Island (New York) le 3 août 1961. Lee Rocker a
fait parti des Stray Cats.
A longtime
bassist with the rockabilly revival trio the Stray Cats, Lee
Rocker was born Lee Drucker in 1961. With fellow Long Island schoolmates Brian
Setzer and Slim Jim Phantom, he formed the
Stray Cats in 1979. The group relocated
to London the following year, scoring a series of U.K. Top Ten hits including "Runaway
Boys," "Stray Cat Strut," and "Rock This Town" before returning stateside to
enjoy similar success. The group's meteoric rise took its toll on the
bandmembers, however, and in 1983 they split up; Rocker and Phantom then
recruited ex-David Bowie guitarist Earl Slick to form Phantom, Rocker & Slick,
scoring a minor hit in 1985 with "Men Without Shame.
The Stray Cats re-formed in 1986, failing to recapture their past glories;
concurrently, Rocker also collaborated with the likes of Carl
Perkins and Dave Edmunds. In the wake of 1992's Choo Choo Hot Fish, the
Stray Cats again dissolved, with Setzer soon
becoming a leading figure in the swing revival movement; Rocker, meanwhile,
mounted a solo career that commenced in 1994 with the album Big Blue and
continued with efforts including 1995's Atomic Boogie Hour, 1998's No Cats, and
1999's Lee Rocker Live. Four years passed before he returned with the blistering Bulletproof on
the 33rd Street label. Racin' the Devil appeared in 2006 on Alligator, followed
by Black Cat Bone in 2007 and Rock This World in 2009.
