This George Thorogood collection is a great party CD, regardless of whether you drink like a fish or are totally clean and sober (as I am). While Stevie Ray Vaughan and Johnny Winter could play rings around him, George Thorogood created an intense modern blues style which I hope will influence others. If you saw the 1984 TV movie WHY ME? (based on a true story), in which the lead character's face is virtually destroyed in a car accident caused by a drunk driver, you might wish to skip the overt drinking songs on this CD and just listen to stuff such as "Gear Jammer", "Move It On Over", and "Who Do You Love?", but even if you don't agree with the lyrics of the alcohol songs, you can still enjoy the guitar playing and the grooves of this whole anthology. Sure, it goes a bit too heavy on the drinking songs, but with the other, better collections no longer available, this is the best George Thorogood anthology currently in print.
It's George Thoroughgood, and all of his best, most rockin songs, right here, one right after another. You can't be in a bad mood while listening to this, it will rip you right out of your old skin with the first riff of righteous, foundational rock n' roll slide guitar.
B-b-b-b-b-b-b baaad! Bad to the Bone!
