ImThatGuyToo 0 Report post 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. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

bazooka 0 Report post 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. " Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Lucky 5 Report post 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. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
