The Hard Stuff

George Thorogood & the Destroyers

High-octane boogie and gritty slide guitar. A relentless collection of barroom anthems that sounds like a Friday night in a roadside tavern.

Unapologetically confident and high-energy rock that celebrates the grit of the road and the barroom.

Moments Worth Listening For
The aggressive slide guitar entry on the title track that sets a high-octane pace immediately.
The unexpected but fitting boogie-woogie transformation of Bob Dylan's 'Drifter's Escape'.
The raw, stomping rhythm section on 'Give Me Back My Wig' that captures a live barroom energy.
