Robert Cray definitely helped keep the flame of the blues burning in the '80s. Also, Chicago's own Alligator Records, the best blues label around (and still going strong with new artists in 2023), put out a *huge amount* of amazing blues albums in the '80s. Check out the band, The Kinsey Report, and their first album from '87, "Edge of the City."

Saw George Nov 1982, he covered a bunch of Blues artists songs(Elmore James, John Lee Hooker etc). I was fortunate to see many blues artists in the 80s and 90s. I saw Son Seals in 1986, Robert Cray and Little Charlie & the Nightcats in 1988, John Lee Hooker and Buddy Guy in 1989, Albert Collins in 1991 for example.

“One Bourbon, One Scotch, and One Beer” is one of his most entertaining songs. I think you two have such a large following because 1) you obviously enjoy music, 2) you pause as necessary, not constantly, and 3) you give entertaining, often enlightened insights. Too many reactors are not only in love with the pause button but repeat and explain each set of lyrics back to us like we’re idiots: “He said he drinks alone. In other words, he doesn’t need other people around to drink. Some people like to be alone when they drink.” It’s okay to state the obvious some of the time in a spontaneous reaction, but some folks can do nothing else. I love how you hit the perfect balance with enjoyable but intelligent comments, never talking down to your audience. You talk to us as if we’re old friends. Hope you do this for a long time.

Willie and the hand jive was his only billboard hot 100 hit, but his albums would go gold almost all the time. He just didn’t have radio friendly music at the time coming out during the disco era! Greatest story of George and the destroyers: During the late 1970s, Thorogood and his band were based in Boston. He was friends with Jimmy Thackery of the Washington, D.C.-based blues band, The Nighthawks. While touring in the 1970s, the Destroyers and the Nighthawks were playing shows in Georgetown at venues across the street from each other. The Destroyers were engaged at the Cellar Door and the Nighthawks at Desperados. At midnight, while both bands played Elmore James's "Madison Blues" in the same key, Thorogood and Thackery left their clubs, met in the middle of M Street, exchanged guitar cords and went on to play with the opposite band in the other club.

@bloppysloppy4057 11 ай бұрын

I also remember when he did the 50/50 Tour. He played a show in all 50 states in 50 days travelling in a Checker Cab(except when he played in Hawaii). He opened for the Stones around that time and the Stones secretly rehearsed with him because they briefly considered replacing Ron Wood whom they were having trouble with.@@truckrboat

Bangin' song! Good pick. You should listen to his "One Bourbon, One Scotch, One Beer." (Another classic George "Thoroughgood-ized".) He has several other great ones too. That thing I think you guys were talking about is called "twelve-bar blues." It's a 12-measure chord progression used in most classic blues songs. Very distinctive pattern - once you've heard it, you can identify it a mile away!

When I was in high school there was one friend we would always hang out and drink in his basement. After one very hydrated evening, there were 4 or 5 of us that stayed over sleeping in chairs, on the couch, or on the floor. In the morning, his mother came downstairs and woke us up after noticing a large number of empties that we had not yet cleaned up. Now, none of us were hung over because we were all still drunk. We all acted like we were still asleep except for Murph. He couldn't because his mom was grilling him. It took everything I had to not bust out laughing when she was wanting names of everyone that was there the previous night and he just rolled his head toward her and said with a straight face, half closed eyes and slurred words, "I drink alone". And he even sung it like in the song. 😂

George was not only a good artistical talent but he was also a good person. Rumor has it in the "Tri-state" area (PA, DEL, MD) that he started his band as a fundraiser for the softball team that he was a part of, "The Delaware Destroyers". I have been to a few of his local shows before he became a star, and he and his band were really good. In 1983, while in the Marines, I was dating a gal who happened to be George's neighbor. While on leave for the Christmas holiday, my girlfriend invited me to a party. When I arrived at her house, we walked over to the house that was behind hers. It was about 20 minutes before George noticed us and came to greet us. All I can say is, what a "down to Earth" guy he was. It was NOT a big party, but a gathering amongst friends and family, and I was welcomed as if I were his buddy!

My goodness! Saw him in at Parkers in Seattle. 80s I needed him. Dude came out and walked table to table doing a lead. Sure glad I saw him. Sure glad I made it home.

Years ago, George Thoreogood and the Deleware Destoyers opened for ZZ Top. It was amazing!!!

6:38 When George id singing this line about his family given up on him and saying the only one who'll hang out withm is his dear Old Granddad He wasn't referring to his Grandfather(which was what I'd thought for years) he's referring to a premium whiskey named "Old Granddad"
