Same old tunes still rock

A few summers ago in Indy, George Thorogood was getting ready to throw his bandana out into an audience of eager women throwing their arms up in excitement and screaming for him to toss it their way. Thorogood took the bandana, flung it toward a girl who was around seven years old, and said, "I've got to look out for my future."\nThat same wit resonates throughout the group's newest compilation, and in the good ol' tradition of beer drinkin', hell raisin' and skirt chasin', the album includes comical classics written by Thorogood, like "I Drink Alone," "Bad to the Bone" and "If You Don't Start Drinkin' (I'm Gonna Leave)." It also contains the beloved cover of John Lee Hooker's "One Bourbon, One Scotch, One Beer." \nHalf of the tracks can be found on The Baddest of George Thorogood and the Destroyers, but the new album contains two energetic live tracks and two previously unreleased cuts: a decent alternate take of "Rockin' My Life Away" and producer Tom Rothrock's remix of "Who Do You Love?" The remix isn't that far from the original, but maybe that's not such a bad thing.\nThis album doesn't add a lot to George Thorogood & the Destroyers' recording portfolio, just a different mix of their hits, but it's those hits that make the band so much fun and keep them 'rocking their lives away.'
