Highway 49 by George Thorogood & the Destroyers (1988)



I was never a big George Thorogood fan. I had plenty of opportunity to listen to his hits on classic rock radio and even during the early days of MTV. While there were a few catchy tunes(Move It On Over, One Bourbon...), I grew tired of them quickly. And I never liked Bad to the Bone, oy. So, I never really listened to much of Thorogood's catalog.

A couple of months ago, I happened to hear his version of Howlin Wolf's Highway 49. There is something about the bottleneck guitar playing on this song that hits the spot.
