ImThatGuyToo 0 Posted September 9, 2005 Report Share Posted September 9, 2005 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. Link to post Share on other sites
miamisammy29 4 Posted September 9, 2005 Report Share Posted September 9, 2005 Wasn't that an old John Lee Hooker tune? Man, that cat could play the guitar! Link to post Share on other sites

bazooka 0 Posted September 11, 2005 Report Share Posted September 11, 2005 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. " Link to post Share on other sites
Lucky 5 Posted September 11, 2005 Report Share Posted September 11, 2005 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. Link to post Share on other sites
PSYCHOcatholic 0 Posted October 19, 2005 Report Share Posted October 19, 2005 Who wrote it? John Lee Hooker, or George Thorogood? Seems that George sings it much better. Link to post Share on other sites
