LET'S WORK TOGETHER is the 14-track live album from noted blues-rock act George Thorogood & the Destroyers. The album was recorded at Mississippi Nights in St. Louis in December 1994, and includes guest appearances from Elvin Bishop and former Chuck Berry pianist Johnny Johnson. Entertaining as his studio albums are, it's axiomatic that Thorogood is best appreciated on stage. And this concert set, recorded in front of a positively rapturous audiences in Atlanta and St. Louis in 1994, pretty much proves the point, with the band making a great, ungodly racket that as usual owes as much to '60s garage rock and punk as it does to Muddy Waters. Thorogood, who sounds thoroughly energized, blowtorches his way through familiar songs by Chuck Berry and Bo Diddley, but he also takes on Larry William's "Bad Boy" (offered as a tribute to John Lennon), and brings out two special guests--guitarist Elvin Bishop and Berry's great piano player Johnny Johnson--for a pedal-to-the-metal assault on Canned Heat's version of Wilbert Harrison's "Let's Work Together."
