Rock God Cred Report:

Mr. George Thorogood has signed on with the bigs again (Capitol Records)  to make an interesting album titled “The Dirty Dozen”.  The first six are new songs for you to digest, and the second six are listed as “fan favorites”. The new tunes are solid…never veering too far from the patented “Thorogood” sound.  You know the drill…the growling vocals, steady backbeat, and the good ol’ slide.  I am diggin’ the 50’s rock n roll feel incorporated in the new stuff .   Thorogood always had a little of it in the past, but he always reverted back to the safe haven of barroom rock.  On the “fan favorite” side GT hits up songs by Howlin’ Wolf, Bo Diddley, Chuck Berry, and Willie Dixon.  All of the cuts are solid toonage, but I prefer the 6 new recordings.  If you are a fan of George Thorogood it is indeed a worthy buy.  Must have tunes…”Born Lover”, “Twenty Dollar Gig”, and “Tail Dragger”

Track List:  (New Tunes) “Tail Dragger”, “Drop Down Mama”, “Run Myself Out of Town”, “Born Lover”, “Twenty Dollar Gig”, “Let Me Pass”…(Fan Favorites) “Howlin’ For My Baby”, “Highway 49″, “Six Days on The Road”, “Treat Her Right”, “Hello Little Girl”, and “Blue Highway”
