Hit: 5 Stars
I've been a fan of the Destroyers for a long time ... since hearing them rip through "I'm Wanted" on stage on a hot summer night at the old Country Club in Reseda.
When they're on, no one rocks like the Destroyers.
But over time, the Destroyers lost their edge. Their studio recordings were spotty ... sometimes lacking the energy, focus, and spirit of their earlier work. And I have yet to hear a live CD that can match some of their earlier bootleg recordings.
All that has changed.
I dunno what happened here. It could be Jimmy Suhler's driving rhythm guitar. It could be great engineering. It could be the little blue pill has found it's way into Thorogood's medicine cabinet.
Whatever it is, it doesn't matter. What matters is on the CD, and on that score, this one has it where it counts. This is one great rock n' roll record.
Take a quick MP3 tour and hear it for yourself. Don't miss "She's Gone", "You Don't Love Me, You Don't Care", and "Greedy Man". And don't leave without sampling a bit of Chuck Berry's "Move It".
And here's a special note to the snobs who dismiss Thorogood as the "Cheez Wiz" of blues and rock n' roll:
Pass me the nachos on your way out.
Ride 'Til I Die Poster
2003 album from George Thorogood & The Destroyers marks the 30th anniversary of celebrating the rock & blues they love. 13 tracks. Eagle.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
