Hit: 5 Stars
I'm one of the biggest Thorogood freaks in the country, having seen the band in concert around 56 times since the late 80s all over the midwest. But although I do listen to some studio album tracks of his, it was always his CONCERTS that used to make me drive hours and hours, miles and miles across endless blue highways and major interstates to hear songs of George's LIVE. His shows were always loud, ferocious, and George's wildman antics on stage such as playing guitar over his head, twirling around the stage, dropping down to one knee and hoisting the mike stand up and out into the roaring crowds were a million, no, a BILLION miles away from the limited slow songs that we hear repeatedly on the radio, such as I Drink Alone and Bad to the Bone. However, always one to support my favorite band in the world, I went out and dutifly picked up his latest CD, Ride Til I Die. I can, in all honesty, say that this CD(especially with the addition of Thorogood's new rhythm guitarist Jim Suhler), measures up to the same qualities of the live shows. The production is crystal sharp, George's guitar work is as good as it's ever been, the song selection is phenomenal! Thorogood's guitarist, Jim Suhler, is as accomplished a guitarist as they come and adds some very, very interesting solos and rhythm guitar work that, combined with Thorogood's slide and powerhouse style, makes the Destroyers unstoppable now on vinyl AND on stage. Highlights for me are; definately the rocker "American Made", which also features some heart stopping saxaphone work from the legendary Destroyer saxaphonist Hank Carter. Also, for some classic Destroyer energy cuts, give the slide gem "Sweet Little Lady" and "Devil In Disguise" listens. Also, the title track, which features George on acoustic guitar, Jim Suhler on electric, is a John Lee Hooker song which George and Jim COULD NOT play any better than it is on the CD. God, I love this album so much! If you're a fan of Thorogood, please do yourself a favor and go pick this up! It's in my oppinion the best CD of Thorogood's 26 year career.
Ride Til I Die Poster
George Thorogood is an American icon. Together with his band The Destroyers he has become as much a part of American culture as the 4th of July, Mom's apple pie or Rock `n' Roll itself. 2003 was the band's thirtieth anniversary and sees them in sparkling form on this album, their first for Eagle Records. It includes Thorogood's signature guitar licks and trademark vocals, ably backed by the Destroyers who play with passion and intensity. The title track is written by John Lee Hooker and there are also covers of tracks by Bo Diddley (You Don't Love Me, You Don't Care), Chuck Berry (Move It) and Eddie Cochran (My Way) alongside Thorogood originals. The album has been produced by Jim Gaines, who produced Santana's multi-Grammy award winning album Supernatural.Since the early 1980s, George Thorogood has delivered heart-felt tributes to his favored blues and rockabilly artists, and he?s continued along this expected path with Ride ?Til I Die. Warm and deeply affectionate covers of Bo Diddley's "You Don't Love Me (You Don't Care)," Eddie Cochran's "My Way," and, of course, John Lee Hooker's "Ride 'Til I Die," demonstrate that Thorogood is in fine form, his trademark slide guitar warring with a squealing sax over a pumping blues grind. "American Made" is a sure-fire crowd pleaser; "She's Gone" is a dirty stomper that recalls his biggest hit, "Bad to the Bone"; while the closing title track is an evolving acoustic number punctuated by sudden electric wails. Unlike pop stars, bluesmen often benefit from the passing of time; it lends them weight and gravitas. Thorogood is no exception. He'll peak late--and he's pretty damn good now. --Dominic Wills
