After more than a decade of recording for other labels, George
Thorogood & the Destroyers moved back to EMI/Capitol for the
release of 2009's THE DIRTY DOZEN. Split into two sides and
consisting of covers of classic blues songs, some bar band
favorites, and a couple of lesser-known tracks, the album digs back
into the archives to uncover some buried tracks from the '80s and
'90s. What's uncanny is that apart from the tinny sound of the
recordings from the late '80s/early '90s, the band and Thorogood
sound exactly the same almost two decades later. George still has
the same ferocious slide technique, his growling vocals have barely
aged, and the band still has the feel of skilled musicians who know
how to play it simple. In other words, GT & the Destroyers
still rock, and if you were ever a fan, you still should be. The
only real problem with this record is that as cool as it is to hear
the band's 1991 take on "Six Days on the Road" or their tumble
through Howlin' Wolf's "Howlin' for My Baby," it'd be better to
hear more of the new tracks. They have a more immediate feel and
the group sounds like they're playing for fun rather than chasing
commercial success. There's a fire in "Born Lover" and a bounce in
"Run Myself Out of Town" that the old, muffled production can't
reproduce. Not that the old tracks are bad by any means, and
longtime fans of GT will be glad to have them.
