What we have here is a collection of hard-stompin,' party-down, good songs—all penned by Mr. Thorogood himself. Thorogood's badass vocal delivery and grindhouse slide guitar rocketed the Destroyers onto the charts, with two platinum and six gold albums to their credit. The Original George Thorogood is a celebration of Thorogood as a tunesmith. The album features rock radio blockbusters like "I Drink Alone" and "Rock and Roll Christmas," as well as Thorogood's mega-hit, "Bad to the Bone," which celebrates its 40th Anniversary this Fall. The Original George Thorogood also showcases the range of Thorogood's output, with tracks like the tour de force truck drivin' anthem "Gear Jammer" and the previously unreleased "Back In The U.S.A." Additionally, hard-hitting barnburners like "I Really Like Girls," "If You Don't Start Drinkin' (I'm Gonna Leave)," and "You Talk Too Much" are served up with classic Thorogood swagger and tongue-in-cheek panache.
