| George Thorogood Premiers New Song Blues-rock legends George Thorogood and The Destroyers have released a new song off their upcoming album 2120 South Michigan Avenue. The song, entitled "Going Back, " can be streamed at this website. According to a press release, with 2120 South Michigan Avenue, Thorogood wanted to pay tribute to the Chess Records heroes who helped launch his career and inspire his music. The album features rockin' covers of Willie Dixon, Muddy Waters, Bo Diddley, Chuck Berry, Howlin' Wolf, Buddy Guy, Sonny Boy Williamson, Little Walter and other Chess greats, as well as new songs written by Thorogood, producer Tom Hambridge, and Richard Fleming. Thorogood is happy to cover his mentors, but he knows that the pressure is on. "Chuck Berry and Bo Diddley are religion to me. I know their ears and eyes are on me, so I have to nail it." Hambridge says of Thorogood, "What's makes this album so perfect for George is that he has been doing it authentically all along. He can deliver Howlin' Wolf better than anybody, because he's lived it. He's not going to sing something he doesn't believe in." Check out the track list below: 1.
