The modest success of The Destroyers’ 1977 self-titled debut album led to this follow-up a year later. As expected, it’s more of the same, with a slightly tighter production from Ken Irwin, who does an admirable job capturing the band's chemistry. Thorogood’s husky vocals let this expert bar band jump ahead of its contemporaries, who likely played similar sets in other parts of the country. The decision to kick off with (and name the album after) Hank Williams’ “Move It on Over” was a golden move, and George’s decision to “rock it on over” led to usually conservative FM rock stations giving him a shot. The guitar sound is crisp throughout, even if his slide guitar is limited at best. Covers of Bo Diddley’s “Who Do You Love?,” Willie Dixon’s “That Same Thing,” Chuck Berry’s “It Wasn’t Me,” and Elmore James’ “The Sky Is Crying" and “New Hawaiian Boogie” show a sharp ear for the blues and early rock legends that all serious music historians love and respect as much as ol’ Georgie.
