George Thorogood

Guitarist George Thorogood once compared his music to diner fare. He stating that customers do not mind eating cheeseburgers on a regular basis as long as they are good cheeseburgers. That sort of no-nonsense approach to rock-n-roll epitomized Thorogood’s career, which focused on producing a slew of super-charged rock and blues tracks that drew influence from early 1950s records by such iconic artists as John Lee Hooker, Bo Diddley and Chuck Berry.

Thorogood was one of the first to combine the blues slide guitar of the masters with rock, bringing slide guitar back in vogue & creating a new audience.

The music of George Thorogood is totally addictive! The way he always pays kudos and respect to the original blues guys is just awesome…

George Thorogood

George Thorogood is arguably among the most recognizable blues musicians of the last few decades. His unpolished sound and distinctive voice have helped him stand out from the crowd, and fans still line up to purchase George Thorogood tickets to see him play his songs dedicated to heavy drinking and hard living.

Thorogood made his debut in the mid-1970s, but it was his second album that put him on the map. His sophomore record, Move It On Over, hit shelves in 1978 and was a substantial hit. It is most famous for Thorogood’s cover of the Hank Williams’ standard “Move It On Over,” along with his version of the Bo Diddley classic “Who Do You Love?” Both singles had Thorogood’s unique spin on them, and are still radio staples more than 30 years after their release.

Thorogood made his first big mainstream debut as an opening act for the Rolling Stones in 1981 during their U.S. tour. In the decades since Move It On Over was released, Thorogood has continued to be an icon in the blues-rock world. His other singles, including “One Bourbon, One Scotch and One Beer” and “Bad to the Bone,” have held up well over the years, and generation after generation is introduced to his music.

Lyrics

You babes talk about your Madison shoes
We got a thing we call the Madison blues

We do the Madison blues
We do the Madison blues
We do the Madison blues baby
Rock away your blues, ohh yeah

Now I knew a gal her name is Lindsey Loo
She told me she loved me but I know it ain’t true

Put on your Madison shoes
Put on your Madison blue shoes
I’ve got the Madison blues
Now put on your Madison blue shoes ohh yeah

Now you’re cats talk about your Madison shoes
We’re doing a thing we call the Madison blues

We do the Madison blues
We do the Madison blues
We do the Madison blues baby
Rock away your blues

Now you babes are talking about your Madison shoes
We got a thing we call the Madison blues

We do the Madison blues
We do the Madison blues
We do the Madison blues baby
Rock away your blues

George Thorogood – Solo Album

George Thorogood

George Thorogood belongs to the group of performers who were able to develop their own, immediately recognizable style. Tirelessly for almost forty years, he plays an extremely dynamic and lively blend of blues, boogie and rock’n’roll, richly sprinkled with a fiery slide. His music is simple and uncomplicated but charged with pleasant, very natural and slightly rascal energy.

I like Thorogood for his energy, enthusiasm, naturalness, honesty and every listening session I consider a very pleasant time. George Thorogood has been playing his music for years. He doing this without looking at the changing trends. No one expects him to combine, search for new sounds or intricately arranged arrangements. His style pattern probably lies in Sevres near Paris next to the metro pattern.

Thorogood, whatever he does, invariably is himself, attacking us with his simple, captivating music, which, regardless of the passing fads, makes listeners sway and play.
