George Thorogood And the Destroyers – George Thorogood And the Destroyers – Vinyl Record
George Thorogood and the Destroyers’ self-titled debut album, George Thorogood and the Destroyers, was released in 1977. The album helped establish the band’s reputation for their energetic and raw approach to blues and rock music.
Key tracks on the album include “Kids From Philly” and “Just Can’t Make It.” Thorogood’s gravelly vocals and the band’s straightforward, no-frills style contributed to the album’s appeal. Their sound, deeply rooted in blues traditions, was delivered with a rock-and-roll intensity that resonated with audiences.
George Thorogood was honing his focus and getting The Destroyers concept down pat on this 1980 album. He hadn’t yet become so established and comfortable that his rocking blues licks and vocals were more show business than intensity and energy. Thorogood’s playing and singing on such tracks as “House of Blue Lights,” “Night Time” and “I’m Wanted” were earnest enough to make the treatments convincing, and retain interest. While this wasn’t quite as memorable as his earlier dates, George Thorogood still had the hunger that fueled his breakout sessions.
While the self-titled album didn’t achieve massive commercial success upon its initial release, it set the stage for George Thorogood and the Destroyers’ subsequent albums, propelling them to greater recognition. The band’s dedication to a blues-based, high-energy style became a defining characteristic of their musical identity.
Over the years, George Thorogood and the Destroyers have continued to be a force in the blues rock genre, and their self-titled debut remains an important starting point in their career.
