I always thought George Thorogood’s band sounded like a pretty good local bar band, but I never saw him as a star or major talent.

The band originally formed as “George Thorogood and the Delaware Destroyers.” Can’t find when they dropped the “Delaware” from their name.

Here’s one of his I like;

What a kick-ass, rockin’ back-up band! I think the only reason these songs weren’t smash hits like “Bad to the bone” is simply “Back to Wentzville, leave these Memphis blues behind” is so much more of a mouthful than “Go, Johnny go, go” or “goodness gracious great balls o’ fire.” “Bad to the bone” has that simplicity.

When they are simple, they’re a little too fast: “Nobody but me” shouldn’t force you dance so frenetically.

But I say this not to say the band isn’t great. Just the opposite: they are sooo good, that I’m immediately inspired to consider why they weren’t more wildly successful.

"Back to Wentzville" is a Chuck Berry-styled rocker with onetime Rolling Stone Ian Stewart pounding piano in the background and Hank Carter unleashing a ferocious saxophone solo. The first of Thorogood's three originals is a bar-band template that gives your speakers, or earbuds, an aerobic workout.

I've got a soft spot for this song, as I grew up in Wentzville.

“Bad to the Bone” - Al Bundy’s theme song when he was gearing up for battle.
