"GEORGE THOROGOOD HAS BEEN IN THE BUSINESS 25 YEARS AND CONTINUES TO SHOW THAT HE CAN KEEP UP WITH THE TIMES. WITH HIS USUAL GRITTY SOUND AND AMAZING GUITAR GEORGE INCORPORATES BLUES,ROCK,AND EVEN COUNTRY INTO AN ALBUM WHICH SHOWS HIS MATURITY AND COMING OF AGE FROM HIS EARLIER DAYS. HIS SHOW AT MYRTLE BEACH SC WAS HIS DEBUT FOR HALF A BOY AND HALF A MAN AND I CAN SAY THAT HIS ATTITUDE AND FLARE MADE THE SHOW AND THE MUSIC ALL THE MORE EXCITING. THANKS GEORGE..."
No nonsense rock

"HALF A BOY HALF A MAN by GEORGE THOROGOOD AND THE DESTROYERS is a no nonsense slab of rock and roll the way it should be. There are no gimmicks or flashiness, GT lets his guitar do all the talking for him. This album totally rocks and will be enjoyed by all music fans. I think out of the 11 songs on the album, the only one that doesnt cut the mustard to me is AS LONG AS I HAVE YOU. It is a good song, I just think the the vocal quality isnt up to par. If you need to know which songs are the best, I DONT TRUST NOBODY, 99 DAYS IN JAIL, JUST PASSIN THRU, DOUBLE SHOT and the title track are enough reasons why to purchase this album. I highly recommend this song for the serious music fan."
Not as good as I expected it to be, sorry George!

"I expected something along the lines of "NADINE", and it does not measure up. The best cut's are "I DON'T TRUST NOBODY" and "JUST PASSIN THRU" I expected more and was disappointed......"
Now were getting some good rock n roll
