Maverick

George Thorogood & the Destroyers

High-octane slide guitar and relentless boogie beats. A quintessential barroom record that trades 80s polish for greasy, grit-flecked blues rock.

The ultimate soundtrack for drinking a beer in a garage while fixing something that's probably not broken.

Relentless, blue-collar confidence fueled by electric slide guitar and a barroom shuffle.

Moments Worth Waiting For
The aggressive slide guitar entry on 'Crawling King Snake' that immediately establishes a swampy, menacing groove.
The frantic, high-speed rockabilly pacing of 'Dixie Fried' where the saxophone and guitar trade jagged licks.
The slow-burn tension of 'Memphis, Marie' which allows the band to stretch into a more expansive, soulful blues territory.
