George Thorogood & The Destroyers have delivered 30 years of pure rockin’ and rollin’ with absolute respect to the masters who came before them and the fans in front of them. The 16-song, 78-minute compilation features their biggest tracks, “Bad To The Bone,” “One Bourbon, One Scotch, One Beer,” “Move It On Over,” “You Talk Too Much,” “If You Don’t Start Drinking (I’m Gonna Leave),” and 11 others.

	If George Thorogood did not exist, it would be necessary to invent him. With his Delaware Destroyers by his side, Thorogood spent the 1970s, '80s, and '90s cutting through all pretense and pomposity with a raw, rootsy, bare-bones style steeped in traditional blues, R&B, and early rock & roll. His gravelly vocals, power-tool slide guitar, and no-frills bar-band aesthetic have endeared him to fans of honest, good-time music for decades, as documented on this hits package.
	30 YEARS OF ROCK is like a walk through through American musical history, as Thorogood makes his way through the songs of such roots legends as Hank Williams (a rocked-up version of "Move It on Over," a proto-rockabilly song to begin with), Elmore James (the blistering slow blues "The Sky Is Crying," predating Stevie Ray Vaughan's version), Bo Diddley (a tough, pounding "Who Do You Love?"), and more. Thorogood's own songs are on offer as well, most notably the Muddy Waters-like jukebox staple "Bad to the Bone" and the humorous "I Drink Alone." Hoist a bottle of (domestic) beer in celebration of George Thorogood's 30 YEARS OF ROCK.

Artist Overview

Rock & roll rarely gets nastier and dirtier than George Thorogood & The Destroyers. Steeped in the bar-band verities, these Delaware road dogs hit it big in the '80s with the ubiquitous "Bad to the Bone." Any number of their blues-drenched rockers could serve as the perfect soundtrack to a barroom brawl.
