George Thorogood's first album for a major label became his commercial breakthrough precisely because it was business as usual. Again, it's a brash, rowdy take on the blues that owes as much to '60s garage bands and punk as it does to Muddy Waters. That connection is made particularly explicit here via a stomping take on the Human Beinz' '60s punk classic "Nobody But Me," itself a radical deconstruction of the Isely Brothers' original.

The title tune, of course, has become Hollywood's leading signifier of a character's toughness--pretty funny if you've ever seen the transparently goofy Thorogood mugging his way through the song on MTV. Elsewhere on the album, he renders buzz-saw homage to Chuck Berry and John Lee Hooker. But the album's most interesting moment comes on the sleazy sounding, dirge-like "As the Years Go Passing By." The group suddenly recalls John Lennon's one-time backing band, Elephants Memory, which had cut its musical teeth playing in strip joints--and sounded like it.

George Thoroughgood first released BAD TO THE BONE in 1982. The disc was his major label debut, but little had changed from his previous approach: the album was still full of the straight-ahead hard-hitting blues-based rock his following had come to expect. Not surprisingly, little about that approach has changed in the decades following, which is one of the reasons the 2007 reissue still sounds relevant. The sound of his band, the Destroyers, can still peel paint, and the covers of Albert King, Jimmy Reed, and John Lee Hooker are full of bar-band bravado. Naturally, the title track, which has grown into an FM radio classic over the years, still shines, as does Thoroughgood's stinging slide work.

Personnel: George Thorogood (vocals, guitar); Hank Carter (saxophone); Jeff Simon (drums).

All tracks have been digitally mastered using HDCD technology. Singer-songwriter Madeleine Peyroux's soulful voice is occupied so palpably by the spirit of Billie Holiday that it's almost scary. Peyroux is certainly influenced by the song and voice of Bessie Smith as well, but she approaches the material on her major-label debut from an entirely modern perspective, with strength and individuality as well as a hint of playfulness, like a stylish young woman looking great in a vintage dress. Peyroux covers such classics as "Walkin' After Midnight," Edith Piaf's "La Vie En Rose," and Smith's "Reckless Blues" with style and agility, backed by such well-known and expert musicians as jazz pianist Cyrus Chestnut and guitarist Marc Ribot. DREAMLAND is buoyed as well by Peyroux's accomplished original songs, the bluesy vocal-Dobro tunes "Hey Sweet Man" and "Always a Use," and ...

Bad To The Bone music CDs
CD $12.15  Audio Samples
Principally recorded at Mica Bunker Studios, New York, New York between 1987 and 1989. Includes liner notes by Suzanne Langille and Loren Mazzacane Connors. This collection of blues, gospel, folk, and even rock standards (Chuck Berry's "In the Wee Hours") is actually a compilation of material from live gigs, a track from the In Pittsburgh album, and various other home-studio recordings and live gigs. They have several things in common: First, they are all from a period where Loren Mazzacane Connors returned to playing music after a four-year hiatus and discovered the electric guitar as the means for his expression -- though he hadn't yet abandoned the acoustic entirely -- and second, before he discovered his now-trademark multi-tracking system of performance. Third is that this disc is a complete collaboration between Suzanne Langille and Connors. Each musician has a trademark style and a way of slowing things to a near dead stop, and filling it with a maximum emotional tension. Take, for example, the pair's reading of Berry's tune: Langille turned the fire down so low that the simmer is barely visible. But each word, each syllable, is enunciated in such a sensual, smoky way that the tune becomes a potboiler. Connors covers her with a ...
