George Thorogood - Move It On Over '1978 [2003]

Tracks list

	       Move It On Over is the second album by George Thorogood and the
Destroyers released by Rounder Records in 1978. The album contains all cover
material. Its title track, Hank Williams' "Move It on Over", received major FM
radio airplay when released, as did the Bo Diddley cover, "Who Do You Love?".

In 1978, George Thorogood was just beginning to make some noise on the
blues-rock circuit. This was his second album, and what's now almost a cliché
then sounded fresh and vital. Thorogood's energy, rousing vocals and driving
guitar playing came roaring through on inspired covers of Elmore James' "The Sky
Is Crying," Bo Diddley's "Who Do You Love" and Chuck Berry's "It Wasn't Me." He
even did a credible Piedmont blues on Brownie McGhee's "So Much Trouble." While
Thorogood went on to make more commercially succesful albums, the spirit and
innocence in his early releases has seldom been duplicated. This Rounder CD
reissue returns him to a simpler, and in some ways superior, period.
