Party of one

"Prior to forming the Destroyers in the mid-1970s, the fledgling Delaware destroyer was an aspiring acoustic bluesman. So, while the all-covers Party of One's primarily acoustic instrumentation - performed entirely by Thorogood - may not what be long-term fans were expecting, there's a true reverence for the blues (not to mention Johnny Cash, Hank Williams and the Rolling Stones) across its 14 cuts. Thorogood and the Destroyers have always transcended the bar-band reputation that's preceded them, and while Thorogood himself has often downplayed his own abilities in interviews, there's no denying that he's helped keep the blues tradition alive".
