Great music
George is underappreciated! This music is great!. This item arrived quickly and in good condition.


No scuzzy dive would be complete
To this day, every time I hear "One Bourbon. . ", I remember the time at a honky-tonk in Lubbock, TX I simultaneously saw: 1) a guy throwing up in the corner, 2) a guy breaking a beer bottle over another guy's head, and 3) George howling away on the juke.

Good times.


BAD FOR GOOD!
"What else do you need?", he'd grin. Wild Bill, a good party-hearty buddy of mine used to keep only three CDs in his Corvette for cruisin' to: THE BEST OF THE BLUES BROTHERS, JIMMY BUFFET'S GREATEST HITS, and this anthology of Delaware's best known Destroyer of boogie n' blooze. What else indeed? For straight ahead, pedal to the metal, sweaty, ready-steady-go rock n' roll meant to be cranked to ozone shattering volumes, George is the man. Equal parts cocky gravel-pit vocalist, slippery slide grrr-tar mangler, and overgrown frat boy, Thorogood's musical approach is, to quote a Dave Edmunds album, "Subtle as a Flying Mallet". His rip off the knob takes on Hank Williams' MOVE IT ON OVER and John Lee Hooker's barstool classic ONE BOURBON, ONE SCOTCH, ONE BEER groove grandly alongside dyed in the wool originals BAD TO THE BONE and I DRINK ALONE, making THE BADDEST OF GEORGE THOROGOOD one of the goodest party excuses on record. Just ask my pal Wild Bill, if you can find 'im. RATING: FOUR BREWSKIS

Dirty Electric Blues!
It is what I always liked about early Rolling Stones. What I like about George Thorogood is his attitude. It is how blues should be played. Black and dirty.
I always liked One Bourbon, One Scotch, One Beer of John Lee Hooker, but I prefer George Thorogood cover more. Move It On Over is Hank Williams' cover, but it sounds like his original, just like Who Do You Love, originally written and recorded by Bo Diddley.
About songs like Bad To The Bone, I Drink Alone and If You Don't Start Drinkin' (I'm Gonna Leave) I think I don't need to write. They are already standards.
If you're new to electric blues or George Thorogood and The Destroyers you must buy this album.


Hes bad to the bone, but his guitar playings ****ing awesome
But thats not what George Thorogood is all about. Ive seen people try and compare him to the likes of Jimmy page. Hes about women, beer, baseball, music, and more than anything, just plain fun.
And thats exactly how he comes across. When he described himself as a burger bar, he meant it. He doesnt asked to be compared to any one else. Because the only reason he plays, is because HE LOVES IT.
If you like damn good blues, and you just want to chill, this is the one for you. Any time.
He riffs like anything, and the brilliant copies of 'one Bourbon, one Scotch, one Beer' and 'who do you love' will have you playing air guitar all night.
