BLUES: George Thorogood (8/11)
Published by Frank De Blase on Aug 08, 2007
"Lonesome" George Thorogood slinks with the menacing swagger of a panther one minute before prancing about like Little Richard the next. He is truly one of the last great song-and-dance men. Keeping it black, blue, and primal over his 30-plus-year career, Thorogood's crossover appeal is still huge. Some might just consider him a rock artist. Yeah, until he busts out something like Hound Dog's "The Sky Is Cryin,'" crooning in that unmistakable cement mixer voice of his as he makes his wedding-cake white hollow body howl. Thirty years and this cat has it down.
George Thorogood and the Destroyers move it on over with Bryan Adams Saturday, August 11, at Darien Lake Performing Arts Center, 9993 Allegheny Road, Darien Center, 232-1900, 7:30 p.m., $20-$55.
