On his 2006 outing, THE HARD STUFF, veteran singer/guitarist George Thorogood leads the Destroyers through a set of typically rough-and-tumble blues-rock. Mixing revved-up originals (the tough-as-nails title track and the humorous "I Didn`t Know") with well-chosen covers that range from old-fashioned rock & roll (Fats Domino`s "Hello Josephine") to understated lovelorn blues (Jimmy Reed`s "Little Rain Falling"), the bar-band hero also settles into a chiming version of Bob Dylan`s "Drifter`s Escape," which reveals a subtler side of the famously "Bad to the Bone" performer. Although Thorogood lacks some of his youthful ferocity, he still knows what works, ensuring that his loyal fans will be wholly entertained.
