Rockin’ rhythm ‘n’ blues in the style of Chuck Berry, Bo Diddley, John Lee Hooker and Elmore James. This hard-rocking trio from Newark, Delaware started off playing for hard-core blues fans in small clubs in the ’70s, became for a few years Rounder’s biggest-selling act. This is the album that started it all. Heavy on his bluesy guitar playing, this album serves as the prototype for all future Destroyer records. The 1977 classic also contains their crowd pleasing rendition of John Lee Hooker’s “One Bourbon, One Scotch, One Beer.”
Recorded 1977 at Dimension Sound Studios in Boston, Massachusetts.
