CD Description
If George Thorogood did not exist, it would be necessary toinvent him. With his Delaware Destroyers by his side, Thorogood spent the 1970s, '80s, and '90s cutting through all pretense and pomposity with a raw, rootsy, bare-bones style steeped in traditional blues, R&B, and early rock & roll. His gravelly vocals, power-tool slide guitar, and no-frills bar-band aesthetic have endeared him to fans of honest, good-timemusic for decades, as documented on this hits package.
30 YEARS OF ROCK is like a walk through through American musical history, as Thorogood makes his way through the songs ofsuch roots legends as Hank Williams (a rocked-up version of"Move It on Over", a proto-rockabilly song to begin with), Elmore James (the blistering slow blues "The Sky Is Crying",predating Stevie Ray Vaughan's version), Bo Diddley (a tough, pounding "Who Do You Love?"), and more. Thorogood's own songs are on offer as well, most notably the Muddy Waters-like jukebox staple "Bad to the Bone" and the humorous "I DrinkAlone". Hoist a bottle of (domestic) beer in celebration ofGeorge Thorogood's 30 YEARS OF ROCK.

Customer Reviews

Great blues rock
I will admit I bought this because I'd heard Bad to the Bone in Terminator 2, and wanted to know if it was as good as it sounded. I must say I'm really impressed. The tracks are a good variety, with some lives ones thrown in for good measure. Quite a few covers, which isn't a bad thing, as these are obviously tracks they enjoy playing, so sound great.

There's a number of tracks here which will be in my playlist as a permanent feature I think. I've played this album to lots of different people, and everyone enjoys its simple sound and fun style.

Definite 5 stars.

Rock. That's all there is to say.
Low-down and dirty guitar-driven blues from a master of the art. I defy you to put this on your car stereo and not break the speed limit, particularly with numbers like "Who Do You Love" and "Talk Too Much" on offer. And rev yourself up for a night out with the slinky, rawly sexual classic "Bad To The Bone".

Turn it up. Drink it up. Enjoy.

It passes the Madison Blues test!
I bought this album on a whim as I have a great interest is R&B (old meaning),Dr Feelgood and Wilko Johnson, Pirates etc, and heard some of the clips on the Amazon site. It is a truly great record and makes you drive much faster. My son also like the rocking sound. Whenever he tells me he has a new song that he thinks I would like I always ask him if it passes the Madison Blues test. Invariably he has to admit it that it does not!! Our favourite is "One bourbon, one whiskey, one beer" which is really a short story in rock form and it really does rock with clever guitar work in between the narrative. George is my new best friend>
