One Bourbon, One Scotch, One Beer

[ImThatGuyToo]

I only know this song as performed by George Thorogood & The Destroyers. Is that the original artist? Are there any special covers of this song? For some reason I really like it, the slide guitar work is great.

Wasn't that an old John Lee Hooker tune? Man, that cat could play the guitar!

I believe the original is by John Lee Hooker...

I might be wrong...

Now, I see sammy agrees with me...

Absolutely no question about it it was John Lee Hooker.

I have a John Lee Hooker version on a Blues anthology CD.

Unfortunately, that one doesn't include any of the outrageous talking blues 'rap' that are a plus for Thorogood's entertaining cover.

"I know. Everybody funny. Now you funny too."

I always crack a smile when I hear George Thorogood's eight-and-a-half-minute version of One Bourbon,One Scotch,One Beer.

If you are not amused by the tale of his tribulations with his sometimes "lovey-dovey" landlady, that don't confurn me.

Love this song.

We saw George in concert, and that slide you like

so much? Whatever the thing is he uses to play it

(is it called a slide), George threw into the audience(not audience,me!), but some 18 year old stuck his hand in front of me and grabbed it. I got ripped off. Even George said so, we met him. We were second row center, maybe 6 ft from him, and he likes to shake hands with the aiudience.

Who wrote it?

John Lee Hooker, or George Thorogood?

Seems that George sings it much better.
