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.

He’s got a song called Get a Haircut and Getba Good Job. Was one of his later songs. Tells of how his father compared him to his brother and now he’s the rich one.

His version of "Who Do You Love?" is absolute fire.

“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.

Jay & Amber, you'll love his, "Who Do You Love" and "Move It On Over" !!!!. Great guitar player!! Saw him in concert 11/20/82. Great show! Amber, their song "Kids From Philly" is mostly a sax solo. edit- Hank "Hurricane" Carter on saxophone. Old Grand-Dad bourbon stopped using that name after 2015, became "The Olds". So that's the grand dad he was talking about!

Great song. The interesting thing is, the line at the end of the song which was "the only one who'll hang out with me is my dear old grand dad." Many thought George was talking about his actual grand dad. Unaware that 'My Dear Old Grand Dad' is the name of a liquor. Great stuff.

I just discovered this song maybe 6 or 7 years ago. If I drank, this would be my song. Whatever I do nowadays, I prefer to be alone. George Thorogood never had a hit single in the USA, but these songs are very popular on classic rock stations. I'm sure they were on the rock charts.

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.

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

Lonesome George is a master on guitar! “Move it on over!”Oh and “it wasn’t me!” I love the sax too!

Eric Clapton pretending, my father's eyes, tears in heaven, it's in the way that you use it

The "sax player" whom you shouted out to is none other than the incomparable Hank "Hurricane" Carter. He sadly passed away on September 14, 2021. All of his solos in every GT song is as dirty as it gets... "Nobody But Me" in particular - he _really_ went berserk on that! 🎷🔥

If you like these lyrics then “If you don’t start drinkin” is a must! The antithesis of “I drink alone!

George is still going strong. We’ve seen him 4 or 5 times in the last 10 years and have tickets for his next show here in Lehigh Valley, Pennsylvania, which was postponed until next year. He puts on a great concert.

You're right, girl. The song is based on standard 12-bar blues. And Rob missed the last whiskey reference, to Old Grandad Bourbon.

"Tiptoe Through the Tulips" - Tiny Tim

I was in university in the 80's & bartending.🍻 When this song came on everyone grabbed their drink, (or ordered one)put it in the air & stomped & danced till the song was over. Needless to say their drinks went empty & rushed the bar! Cheers, ya all!!! 🍻

I don't know if you guys have ever watched the cartoon "Beavis & Butthead" but, one of them wears a Metallica shirt and the other wears an AC/DC shirt. Too cute.

I saw ZZ Top back in the day. The opening band was none other than our good buddy George and the Destroyers. What a killer concert!

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. 😂

My early 20s George exposed me to the blues. Wore My 1978 *"Move It On Over"* Cassette Tape Thin. *FYI* In 1993 Canada, a 12 Pack of Beer included a free DVD of his song *"Get a Haircut"* (I Still Have It!)

That was absolutely brilliant!! Thanks for another great reaction, this man is so underrated and i will definitely explore his music more ❤

I love you guys, I really do. George Thorogood is douch rock for lake dads who didn’t learn any lessons from their mid-life crisis.

I lived in Delaware all my life and when I was 18 in 1982,my friend and I met George Thorogood when he pulled up in his modified Taxi at a red light. We followed him back to his recording studio and hung out. He is a really nice guy.

“ that sax was dirty, filthy, it was fantastic!” Lol well said Amber, well said!

I lived in Cleveland for awhile. He would pop into a local neighborhood bar called That Place and jam for awhile. Awesome guy and great musician!

Yeah man! Now you're talking my language. I love the blues. This is a classic 12 bar blues. I think that's what Amber was asking about in terms of song structure. Gotta pay my respects to Jay Guns. You look strong enough to twist the head off a Gundar!

This is from my younger days. Great party song. His music was quite popular. Unique sound

I've heard this a lot but still. Blows me away at his playing guitar 🎸

"...and his brothers. Blackie and Red" 😊 love the juke joint feel.

Lonesome George!

The sax in this song is crazy amazing!!!!!

The lyrics to this song crack me up! Some good Roadhouse Blues! Home Free has a batch of songs you really need to do! Brothers in Arms, Playing With Fire, Listen to the Music, Sea Shanty Medley, All About That Bass, the Butts Remix, and then there is Rob Lundquist and Austin Brown singing Nessun Dorma (!!!) and Austin Brown singing Bring Him Him Home from Les Misérables! I was in tears at the end of that one! That last one goes straight to the heart! So does Brothers in Arms. The others range from good fun to outright hilarious!

Sober for 3 years and 9 months but back when I drank this was my drinking anthem lol

"...gritty, whiskey fresh puff of cigar type of voice." Very well put, Amber!

Another vote for Move It On Over. Tht was my intro to these guys, back in high school. BIG party song back then, where I grew up.

George introduced a whole generation of music fans to the old time bluesmen. Lots of blues covers, very few original songs. But he performs the hell out of them. One that's kind of hard to find is his cover of Cocaine Blues, which was also done in legendary fashion by Johnny Cash.

I forgot about him doing this song...wow....brings back memories. 😳 wow.

"Who do you love" and "Gear Jammer" are my favourites from them. Such an underrated band in my opinion.

This is my anthem. Not everyone is meant to be together. Love it.

His concerts were "fire"...saw him in Halifax NS in the 80's...came out for the encore and wouldnt stop playing...they shut the power down!

A true drinking song by the rockabilly master George Thorogood

I grew up north of Philadelphia and George Thorogood and the Delaware Destroyers obviously started out in Delaware and often sang in Philly bars. I saw him live when I was 21 y.o. in a small bar in Philly that held 75 people at the most. Good stuff.

Saw him way back in the 80s. He opened up for The Rolling Stones. When an awesome show he put on,

George is a lot of fun live. I hope you guys can see him sometime

Two of my favorites are Who Do You Love and If You Dont Start Drinking🤘🤘🤘

ABSOLUTELY !!! 🤘

I have seen him a few times and all I can say is that if you get the chance go and see him live. Worth every penny.

George Michael...ONE MORE TRY....DOPE!!!!!!!!

Other Thorogood songs you haven't listened to yet that are classics: "Who Do You Love", "Move It On Over", "If You Don't Start Drinking (I'm Gonna Leave)", "Get a Haircut (and Get a Real Job", and "Gearjammer."

Saw George and the Delaware Destroyers in a tiny bar in South Jersey around 1976 or 1977. The Alloway Village Inns walls are still shaking from that Saturday night.

Lonesome Gearge and the boys playing "Move it on Over" or "Who Do You Love" (with that Bo Diddley beat) are to not be missed!🤘

I recall seeing George and the Delaware Destroyers way back during his bar touring days before they hit it big, and enjoyed that as well. Can't count the number of times I've seen him...one place was an amusement park 😂😂😂

He is from my home town! I pass his childhood home everyday. Used to be called George Thorogood and the Delaware Destroyers.

Play this song at a party and make everyone take a drink of whatever he says. Its a hoot!

The only one who will hang out with me is my dear Old Granddad. I had to have my father buy it for me because I was too young at the time. But I remember giving my grandfather a bottle of Ild Granddad for Christmas. He loved the reference.

A friend of mine is a huge George Thorogood and The Destroyers fan and he follows them around doing several concerts in a row. He told me he has hung out with the band at bars after shows and George really does drink alone. He said the band and him and his wife will be hanging out and George will sit by himself having drinks. I also saw ZZ Top with George Thorogood opening a couple of times. Great pairing for sure!

One of the best concerts I’ve ever seen was George Thorogood and Steve Miller co headlining, 4th row seats.🔥

Live shows he did in the 1980s, he was a dancer too. Jitterbug all around, up & down while singing, and playing his guitar. I have seen G and Ds more than a dozen times.

Proud to say George attended my high school in Wilmington Delaware. Hence the Delaware Destroyers.

That AC/DC shirt is craving a new reaction to them

Only peripherally aware of this artist. NOW I feel as if I KNOW him! Thanks.

One of the best shows I’ve ever seen. I was living in southern Louisiana and saw him in 81 or 82(?) It was like the blues meets southern rock. 👍🏼

Yeah that’s classic 12 Bar Blues, every garage band, ever, could play 12 Bar Blues back in the day. ✌️

Love this singer

George Thorogood should always be done live...

Ride On Josephine by Thorogood is a must listen as is his version of Memphis Tennessee.

Speaking of unique voices, you need to check out "Downtown Train" by Tom Waits. He's got the kind of voice you either love it or you hate it. I have a feeling Jay and Amber would be split on Tom Waits, but it's hard to guess which one will love it and which one will hate it.
