GEORGE THOROGOOD & THE DESTROYERS
MAP OUT SUMMER TOUR PLANS
In THOROGOOD album news, the iconic performer was asked by Billboard magazine about the sound of the new music he’s currently recording and said to the publication’s Gary Graff, “Come on man. You know me better than that! I have a lot of stuff in the can. I just have to decide which ones are going to go on it.” The album is expected to be released late this year or early 2010 with new original songs and obscure covers of artists like John Hammond and Elvin Bishop. Says Lonesome George: “I think it will be a very groovy package and give us some life support for a couple of years and let us put some new tunes in the show.”
George Thorogood & The Destroyers released their self-titled debut album in 1977 and quickly established themselves as radio favorites and as a touring machine. Described as “the world’s greatest bar band,” the group has had tremendous success with Thorogood’s original compositions like “You Talk Too Much,” “I Drink Alone” and of course “Bad To The Bone;” he’s also had hits with covers of iconic blues-rock songs like “Who Do You Love” (Bo Diddley), “Move It On Over” (Hank Williams) and “One Bourbon, One Scotch, One Beer” (John Lee Hooker). 2004’s Greatest Hits: 30 Years of Rock was Billboard magazine’s #1 Blues Album in both 2004 and 2005, and the band’s 16th studio album–2006’s The Hard Stuff–hit #2 on Billboard’s Blues Chart.
