Party of One is the debut solo album by American blues rock artist George Thorogood. It was released August 4, 2017 by the label Rounder Records. Party of One is the first album Thorogood recorded and released without his long-time band "the Destroyers".
Background and recording
In 2017, Thorogood returned to his label Rounder Records to release a solo album. Thorogood said: "I guess it was long overdue. The record label (Rounder) had been on me for some time to put out a solo album." It took Thorogood over a year to record the album.
The album was recorded at the House Of Blues Studios, in California, and produced by Jim Gaines.
Release and content
Rounder Records released Party of One on August 4, 2017.
The album is comprised entirely of blues covers, from artists Thorogood said: "really means something to me." The album also features a live version of "One Bourbon, One Scotch, One Beer" recorded live, at Rockline in 1999.
CD versions of the album also feature a bonus track, "Dynaflow Blues" written by John Ned Shines.
Critical reception
Party of One received positive reviews from critics on release.
AllMusic`s Mark Deming says "Party of One suggests Thorogood has had his greatest success playing rowdy electric blues-rock for a reason -- it's clearly his strong suit -- but 40 years after the release of his debut album, the guy is more than entitled to a change of pace."
