George Thorogood is an American icon. Together with his band The Destroyers he has become as much a part of American culture as the 4th of July, Mom’s apple pie or Rock ‘n’ Roll itself. 2003 was the band’s thirtieth anniversary and sees them in sparkling form on this album, their first for Eagle Records. It includes Thorogood’s signature guitar licks and trademark vocals, ably backed by the Destroyers who play with passion and intensity. The title track is written by John Lee Hooker and there are also covers of tracks by Bo Diddley (You Don’t Love Me, You Don’t Care), Chuck Berry (Move It) and Eddie Cochran (My Way) alongside Thorogood originals. The album has been produced by Jim Gaines, who produced Santana’s multi-Grammy award winning album Supernatural.
