This album features George's "big hit," Bad to the Bone, reason alone for getting it. Compared to his other albums, this has more slow numbers than usual. But songs like the opening track, Back To Wentzville, are so rockin' that they may inspire you to play the guitar, like it did for me. This really shows how George can pick up the pace or slow it down smoothly, like few can.

Bad to the Bone put George on the map of songwriters and will probably be his signature song!

This is a showcase release that is a change of pace and an enjoyable listen!

BAD TO THE BONE is classic George Thorogood and his band the Destroyers. On this album we have 10 slabs of great blues-rock music that all music fans will enjoy. George helped to bring alot of the classic blues masters into the mainstream back in the 80's and early 90's when he was in his prime. On this album we have his classic title track that is enough of a reason to buy this album, but I think that the other songs are great also. BACK TO WENTZVILLE, NOBODY BUT ME, MISS LUANN, NO PARTICULAR PLACE TO GO are just furious rockin tunes that will get you moveing in no time. BLUE HIGHWAY, IT'S A SIN, AS THE YEARS GO PASSING BY are slower blues tempo songs that are pulled off very well here. George is still rockin 20 years after this release and hopefully we will still be getting some great music from him in the years to come

I liked the CD because it reminded me of better times, at night. I used to watch a girl, who called herself Michelle, dance.

There are few that can out rock this album. It is basic and pure the way the rockin' blues was meant to be. This is music that speaks to a soul that is crying out for tenderness while standing steadfast and defiant. George reaches back some 30 years to bring rocks beginnings to modern day style. It is still bad to the bone.
