Classic Rock Revisited review of RTID
George is back for the attack with a 13-track CD featuring everything Thorogood. Slide guitar, funny lyrics, toe-tapping rhythms and the best damn backing band this side of Delaware.
“Greedy Man” is a throwback to 80’s era Thorogood. This song would be welcome on the Bad To The Bone CD. In fact, the entire collection is a throwback to Rock n Roll’s fun era. Unlike many of his contemporizes, Thorogood does not want to change his sound to fit the times or make any type of political statement. Instead he wants to rock out and have a good time. Ride ’Till I Die show a man still making music true to the blend of boogie rock blues he helped invent. “Don’ Let The Boss Man Get You Down” is Thorgood paying homage to the blues masters. “Devil In Disguise” and “She’s Gone” show the man very at home in his own skin.
Nothing to prove and nothing groundbreaking here but if you want to checkout another installment in the Thorogood musical series then this CD is for you. An excellent choice for cruising with top down.
