George Thorogood and the Destroyers + Tom Hambridge

Close to three decades have passed since Delaware blues-rock veteran George Thorogood unexpectedly earned household-name status, thanks to early MTV's permissive playlists. Even so, the guitarist's latter-day studio efforts prove he's still bad to the bone (you knew it was coming); 2120 South Michigan Ave., his latest, focuses on classic tunes by Muddy Waters, Chuck Berry, Bo Diddley and more.
