2120 South Michigan Ave.

2120 South Michigan Ave. is the fifteenth studio album by George Thorogood and the Destroyers. It was released on June 14, 2011 on the Capitol Records label. The album peaked at #2 on the Billboard Top Blues Albums chart. The title refers to the address of the offices and recording studios of Chess Records in Chicago.[3] The album contains ten covers of songs recorded on Chess Records by artists such as Chuck Berry, Bo Diddley, Willie Dixon, and Muddy Waters; plus a cover of The Rolling Stones' instrumental "2120 South Michigan Avenue" and two original songs about Chess Records artists. Capitol Records approached Thorogood with the idea for the album and selected most of the songs.[4] Buddy Guy and Charlie Musselwhite perform on the album, although their work was added after primary recording was complete.[4]

gollark: WRONG!
gollark: Generally, Go's attitude seems to be:- don't trust the programmer to do anything right but use magic all over the place internally- stop abstraction at all costs and make everything explicit- ignore all modern innovations in language design- bodge everything into being mostly right but not actually correct
gollark: Hold on.
