George Thorogood's New CD, 'The Dirty Dozen,' Enters Billboard's Blues Chart at #1: "As they continue their nationwide summer tour across the country, George Thorogood & The Destroyers' new album, The Dirty Dozen, has entered Billboard magazine's Blues Albums chart at #1. Released July 28 on Capitol/EMI, the album features six new studio tracks and six out-of-print songs from Thorogood's catalog. The album's first single, 'Tail Dragger,' has been heard by more than two million people and has reached #1 at 11 radio stations across the U.S., including Los Angeles' KLOS, WYSP in Philadelphia and WZLX in Boston.
'Yours truly is at a loss for words, for once,' states the ebullient Thorogood. 'We've been doing this for 30 years so great news like this throws me, but I'll take it!' The brash and iconic rocker -- who has sold close to 10 million records -- is on tour with The Destroyers, with dates confirmed into November.
Thorogood is no stranger to ruling Billboard's Blues Albums chart, as 2004's Greatest Hits: 30 Years Of Rock was the magazine's #1 Blues Album for both 2004 and 2005, and the band's 16th studio album, 2006's The Hard Stuff, hit #2 on Billboard's Blues chart."
