Here's a Canadian pressing of George Thorogood's "Maverick" on EMI America from 1985, marking a pivotal moment in Thorogood's career as he transitioned into the MTV era while maintaining his signature slide guitar prowess. This album captures Thorogood at an interesting crossroads – still rooted in his Delaware Destroyers sound but clearly adapting to mid-80s production sensibilities. The record features his memorable cover of Johnny Otis's "Willie and the Hand Jive," which became a radio staple, alongside originals like "I Drink Alone" that perfectly encapsulate his no-nonsense approach to blues rock. What makes this release particularly noteworthy is how Thorogood managed to bridge traditional Chicago blues influences with the arena rock demands of the Reagan era, creating something that satisfied both purists and casual rock fans.
