Stray cats first album

studio album by Stray Cats

Rock Therapy is the fourth studio album by American rockabilly band Stray Cats, released in August by EMI America.

It was produced by Stray Cats. The album reached the No. position on the Billboard chart but failed to chart outside the U.S. Singles released from the album include "I'm a Rocker" and "Reckless". Rock Therapy was released as a reunion album after Setzer's solo effort, The Knife Feels Like Justice, and the trio of Phantom, Rocker and Slick self-titled LP.

Critical reception

Writing for People Weekly, critic Mary Shaughnessy contrasted Rock Therapy with the band members' solo albums predating it. Shaughnessy praised the album for bringing "renewed" vigor and exceeding the trio's separate efforts and specifically highlighted Setzer's guitar work as being more inspired than his own solo album.

She praised the production (a group effort) of this album over the previous Stray Cats albums and
