George Thorogood and the Destroyers

George Thorogood and the Destroyers comes from a very long list of self-titled (eponomous) debut albums.  Bad Company, Bon Jovi, et al.   It includes a cover song that George has made his own, "One Bourbon, One Scotch, One Beer."  But also give a listen to You've Got to Lose - a first song, on the first side of an act's first record.  That is a meaningful song and start.  In classic liner notes form - John Forward writes a tight, six-paragraph "review" on the back cover.  The story is about the writer hitting Joe's Place in Cambridge in '75 and seeing GT&D's for the first time.  I am not an expert on guitars - but to me - George plays (and I've seen him live) and in most photos - a Gibson Birdland.  As you've read here before - The Byrdland is a Gibson that got its nickname from being designed for use by a couple of top Nashville sessuion guitarists: Billy Byrd and Hank Garland.  Kind Hearted Woman is an old Robert Johnson song.  These songs are in the great Bo Diddley riff of: shave and a hair cut - two bits.  Try this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s_Cy32V0xsk
