George Thorogood - G Thorogood & Delaware Destroyers

Facts Archive release from the rock guitarist. The "first take" of the band's debut album featuring Thorogood's original trio - Thorogood on vocals, electric guitar, harmonica, Ron Smith on guitar and Jeff Simon on drums - the album features Thorogood's first incarnation of the then George Thorogood and The Delaware Destroyers, modeled on Hound Dog Taylor's format-two guitars and drums. The actual studio album that was later released in 1977 included bass player Bill Blough, who joined the band several months after the first raw sessions took place. The decision was made to overdub Bill onto the existing tracks for the studio release, and the chemistry was so strong, that Thorogood, Blough and Simon are still together in 2015.
