"That was like two different songs." Exactly that. George combined two John Lee Hooker classics, The House Rent Blues and One Bourbon, One Scotch, One Beer, and combined them into one song.

"One Bourbon, One Scotch, One Beer" (originally "One Scotch, One Bourbon, One Beer") is a blues song written by Rudy Toombs and recorded by Amos Milburn in 1953. It is one of several drinking songs recorded by Milburn in the early 1950s that placed in the top ten of the Billboard R&B chart. Other artists released popular recordings of the song, including John Lee Hooker in 1966 and George Thorogood in 1977.

He is a monster live. Sounds better even, than recorded, maybe, certainly as good. Yes, George does a classic Blues shuffle on a lot of songs. He loves the 1-IV-V chord format.

[@debibrewster9080]

I saw him at a very small venue. Since my sister and I needed wheelchair accessible seating they just pulled a seat and sat us in the front row. At the furthest he George Thorogood was mayvmbe 10 feet away. He came off the stage and actually brushed against us as he walked around. And yes, it was a great show. My advice is, check out wineries snd similar music venues. Sometimes they have really good acts

[@keithetherington678]

George Thurogood and the Destroyers are from Dover, Delaware. He's my favorite blues man from the 70's. I've seen him in concert 2 times in my life. And l'm telling you he is fantastic live, he can rip up the stage with his guitar.

In this episode of Brad & Lex, Brad's signature "side to side sway" becomes tight and more "boppy as the high hats are introduced to this uptempo song as Both Brad & Lex follow the story with intrigue as Lex seems to trade places with Brad while her "frontal bop" becomes a bit of a "side to side sway" until the guitar solo feeds the need for Lex to exude her signature "frontal bop".

[@mikecoughlin4128]

George explains his style by giving a rundown of his listening habits. He liked certain artists and wondered who influenced them. Once he discovered that he picked out a few he liked most and researched who influenced them also. He kept this up until he arrived at the “front porch blues” (my term, not his) artists that started it all. As you can see from the other comments he took some of those songs and made them his own plus wrote his own. I also think he is underrated. Many years ago I went to the Illinois state fair and he was playing a side outside venue. I walked up, bought a ticket on the spot and stood with my arms on the fence at the front of the stage. There was hardly anyone there. He played through the rain and I stayed for the entire show, in the rain. It was great.

[@mikecaetano]

"One Bourbon, One Scotch, One Beer" was written by Rudy Toombs and recorded by Amos Milburn in 1953, John Lee Hooker in 1966, and George Thorogood in 1977. Amos Milburn's version strolls around a piano. John Lee Hooker's version rocks a full combo behind his real folk blues. George Thorogood's version growls all the way through to the end like a triple shot of that stuff!

[@NativeNYerChicHK]

I love watching people discover this song! It’s so much fun!! ♥️

[@eximusic]

George Thorogood was from Delaware. People just imitate the style of singing they're trying to emulate. Shuffle isn't a genre, it's a rhythm style. Also, he was young when this was recorded. The picture used by the lyrics video maker was him at least 30 years after the song was recorded.

[@klaptongroovemaster]

"Shuffle" is a groove or "feel" with it's roots in Blues and Jazz. There are quick ones like this song or ZZ Top's "La Grange." There are slow, triplet shuffles like, "Loving, Touching, Squeezing" by Journey, or ZZ Top's "Jesus Just Left Chicago" or "Ride On" by AC/DC (one of their only ballads, and a great one). Most of GT and the Delaware Destroyers (a hint where he's from) big hits are blues shuffles.

[@RastaSaiyaman]

Yes, indeed Lex, it IS two different songs, both of them covers from the great late John Lee Hooker. - House rent Boogie - One Burbon, one scotch and one beer. You guys should react to the originals.

[@BenWillyums]

I think George would agree.

[@Mrfletcher490]

I agree. I have that argument with a lot of people. Some people don't know their blues

[@travissmith6301]

Always need to go back to the original track. These have been done over, but his rendition is spot on for the feel of the songs. He added another layer to the originals.

[@petercofrancesco9812]

I'm always a little dismayed how little they know about even the basics of the history of rock. I didn't know this was cover (thx for pointing that out) I'm no expert but even I knew this was a Blues song.

[@RastaSaiyaman]

@@petercofrancesco9812 Much of that has to do with the Hip Hop culture itself. Being black, automatically means that it's not done to go anywhere near a guitar, since they associate the instrument with White people's music. And most hip hop these days is about standing up for yourselves and dealing with police brutality, Police who are mostly all of the time white. So the fact that there are black guitarists like: - Prince - Lenny Kravitz - Slash - Vernon Reid - Gary Clark Jr. - HER Is for many people who grew up on Hip Hop a complete mind blower, since for them it simply isn't an instrument that black people play. Until they look back further in time and discover: - Bo Diddley - BB King - Albert Collins - Albert King - John Lee Hooker - Chuck Berry - Bob Marley - Jimi Hendrix

I've got The Madison Blues " I can remember way back in 1979, some mates of mine on The Northern Beaches of Sydney, playing Thorogood's debut album one day when we'd all been drinking and 'smoking' OMG, I'd never heard anything like it before. Raw, Rockin' Blues, with George's incredible vocals. " Ride on Josephine " George and The Delaware Destroyers made the Blues songs their own. I saw them play at Bryant's Manly Vale in 1982 and what stands out in my mind is George's big white teeth as his broad grin shone out into the crowd. It was a joyous event.

That steady beat and riffs, with him vocally riffing over it, is what he does a lot on stage. This song, represents that style. Heck there are even pauses for the crowd to respond (and they do in concert). It is also the combination of two John Lee Hooker songs, "House Rent Boogie" and "One Bourbon One Scotch One Beer". George then embellishes the lyrics of both for that crowd interaction style.

[@bertpainter8385]

yep, saw him at the Capitol Theater in NJ in 84.

I gotta hang with this chick. She’s a doll and looks like lots of fun. Smile baby girl, love it

[@dr.burtgummerfan439]

George's older, lesser known songs are also great and not as overplayed. Dixie Fried, Back To Wentsville, Madison Blues, his covers of Nadine, Cocaine Blues, Move It On Over....

[@karenwalsh1143]

I totally forgot about this song till you guys! Thanks for my memories coming back y'all!!!!!!

[@mookie7688]

I don't know if anyone else has mentioned it yet, but this is two different songs that George covered and combined into one. The originals are "House Rent Boogie" and of course "One Bourbon One Scotch and One Beer" by the great John Lee Hooker.

[@lesliemandic9673]

Ahhhhhh, Superfans! I have been listening to George over 40 years, love his music! I love comments very interesting history and I love watching new people "discover" him. Feeling drunk is not the vibe I get though being drunk has occurred more than once while he plays.

[@silverhippie3910]

This is actually great guitar playing. So much fun live!! Try “Bad to the bone”.✌️✌️✌️

[@yearginclarke]

For as simple as it is, it really is great guitar playing. In fact this is mastery of the particular style he's playing in. "Less is more" applies here for sure...also he tells a story with not only the lyrics, but with his rhythm playing as well.

[@irishboy0001]

It was a rockin' concert. Got to Tulsa just before the show and bought tickets at the window. Got front row center section. He came down off the stage and walking up and down playing. Very cool.

George is the preferred singer for the alcoholic. You have to "drink alone" a lot to come up with these lyrics. that was his first real hit I think back when he came out on the scene. Most of his tunes are really good and under rated. Always a good story.

[@puddentame9475]

I was with a lead guitar player for many years. Having this much fun with their instrument is almost indecent.

[@donk026]

George thorogood's version is a combination of two Johnny Lee Hooker songs. House rent boogie and One Bourbon, One Scotch and one beer.

[@shanonlavallie1513]

Lol all smiles ya can't help but move. George thorogood is a legend

[@EdPawley]

Thorogood is basically a blues influenced rocker. In the early 90's, he had sung so much about drinking that people started to want to cancel him. That's right: cancel culture is not new. ;)

[@flashknockdown7271]

She's soooo smart and vibrant and dynamic...and, he's...

[@HisboiLRoi]

5:28: "That was like two different songs." Actually, they really were two different songs, both originally by the late great John Lee Hooker. The first was "House Rent Blues", and the second the titular "One Bourbon, One Scotch, One Beer". George did tweak the lyrics slightly here and there.

[@1dkappe]

Like changing it from “one scotch, one bourbon, one beer,” to “one bourbon, one scotch, one beer” as in the original by Amos Milburn. :-)

[@catofthecastle1681]

But it was written by Rudy Toombs!

[@elvistochong1701]

His list goes on forever. You can't go wrong.

[@k.s.7104]

Great review, love how Lex just soaks it up to and watch her reaction.

[@mikethompson7296]

Thorogood is a beast, especially live. He does a great cover of The Sky Is Crying (Elmore James)

[@DescartesLostChild]

Two great songs written by the legendary John Lee Hooker put together brilliantly.

[@jim9520]

Thank you for another great video. Love you both.

[@Krunchyjclown]

Good healthy song. No matter bad life gets, there is always beer. RIP Norm

[@StevieSmall]

Can’t believe they doing this I love watching your reactions to the music your listening too Seeing your reactions as a song hits you and describing you thoughts about it is what music is all about ✌🏻

[@jimtepin4840]

I saw him live at the Plaza Hotel in Daytona Beach Florida...1982. Great concert.
