May 20th
George Thorogood and The Destroyers will release their 20th album "The Hard Stuff". The new album includes the
Tom Hambridge tune "Love Doctor" that was written with George in mind, also included are several
Jim Suhler collaborations such as the title track "The Hard Stuff", "Any Town USA" and "I didn't Know." Other songs reported on the album are Jimmy Reed's "Little Rain" and Hound Dog Taylor's "Give Me Back My Wig"
If you like the blues and a little fun rolled into your music, George Thorogood is guaranteed to deliver. The last release "30 Years of Rock" had 90 weeks on the Billboard Blues Chart and 50 weeks at #1. The first Thorogood album was released almost 30 years ago in 1977 and the classic Move it on Over followed in 1978.
Look for the band starting their tour in Connecticut in May. In June they will be in Europe, returning in July to the US and working their way to the west coast.
