Party of One by George Thorogood

Party of One, released by Rounder Records on August 4, 2017, is something George Thorogood had never done in all his years on the road: a solo album. It's the first record he made without the Destroyers, the band that had been behind him through all those hits, and it puts his high-energy boogie-blues out under his name alone.

That's a big change for a guy whose name has meant rowdy bar-band rock on the radio since the '80s, but the spirit is the same. The track the countdowns picked up is "One Bourbon, One Scotch, One Beer", the old barroom number he had helped make famous, now in a version all his own. Critics liked it, and it sold well out of the gate.
