This guy is one of the very few that kept true Rock & Roll alive through the hair band & techno pop age. When his first EP dropped in 78-79 he BLEW everybody away with his raw-kick in the teeth delivery. Fools that are caught up in fretboard frenetics don't really appreciate the simplicity of his playing or the absolute mastery of what he does.

New to this, I heard this song, or 3 seconds of it as I drove by a house, took me months of hardsleep and unconsentrated work due to the beat taking over my thoughts. 3 months later, a neighbor plays it and I ran to find out who it was. YES! Success finally. Now I sit at home alone bumping in the dark drinking away walking among clowds, engulfed by the beat......

One of the most amazing blues covers ever IMHO. whenever it is raining or im feeling depressed this is my go to song to bring things down. listening to his incredible guitar work just hits something in my brain that brings me right back up and back to business. he definitely blows away the original version and just makes it the only version you need to hear!

I have heard many Renditions of the song played before but I have never heard a voice such as George Thorogood and the guitar play the steel guitar slide guitar whatever you want to call it it's kind of like that sexy leg you see in the window of the Christmas story you just can't look away you can't turn a year it's just so damn good that saxophone it's like that you wanted to hurry up and come up but you don't want to take away from Georgia so low but then again you don't give a damn cuz both are good it's kind of like a expensive dinner wendish comes and it's so damn Delicious but nothing was on its way and you wanted to hurry up but you don't want the experience you're experiencing now the end I think this is the greatest I know Manny won't disagree but it's my opinion plus he does this thing with the guitar that sounds like bullets ricocheted and that's what I called I called bullets it's badass plus that kid in the audience that look like he's cracked out of his mind just goes to show you what is being witnessed rock on George
