A copy of the debut is on its way to me. I have a bunch of Thorogood CDs; the first one is till my favorite. I don't know which album was his breakthrough, but I heard 'One Bourbon, One Scotch, One Beer' on FM in south Jersey in 1977 and bought the album as soon as I could.Originally Posted by JIF
Did you get the remastered version? I know Bad To The Bone was a big seller, but I think Move It On Over is also considered his best. I might get the first album as well, because I love One Bourbon, One Scotch, One Beer.
I'd go see him if it was close (and cheap). I dug the first two albums, right along side other boogie blues like Fab T-birds, but haven't put on one of his discs in decades.
Compact Disk brought high fidelity to the masses and audiophiles will never forgive it for that
Yeah, I pre-ordered the remaster of the debut. I also really like the Haircut album.
I remember a thread long ago where people had to pick their 3 most hated songs.
Bad To The Bone was at the top of my list.(FYI, Rock and Roll All Nite was my number 2 and Old Man my number 3 most hated.)
^ that's understandable. overexposure will kill anything.
Had these two LPs (on Rounder Records!) back in the day, would gladly get them again.

Get a haircut and a get a real job.
How would you rate them? I know Move It On Over is considered quality work. I like getting debut albums from certain classic artists, because it's fun to see where they started.
You should post a review once you get it. I would love to hear what you think.
Here's Mr. Thorogood playing tribute to The Man In Black
I haven't heard those first two albums in ages but I remember liking them a whole lot, fun rockin' stuff. Just looked them up on the net to see the list of songs, and yeah, I'd get these again. A lot of old blues and country standards done up in his style. I didn't get any albums after that, no particular reason, but then a few years later he started to get more popular and classic rock radio ruined a handful of his songs, but I'd probably want to see what's on those albums for the "deep tracks" which I've never heard. Plus those early albums paved the way for me to get more into old traditional blues artists, which I spent a good portion of the 80's exploring.
