Move It On Over is the second studio album by American blues rock band George Thorogood and the Destroyers, released by Rounder Records in November 1978. Move It On Over peaked at No. 33 on the Billboard 200 chart.
Rounder Records released Move It On Over in November 1978. The album eventually sold more than 600,000 copies, making it one of the Destroyer's best selling albums.
The album contains all cover material. Its title track, Hank Williams' "Move It On Over", received major FM radio airplay when released, as did the Bo Diddley cover, "Who Do You Love?".
Move It On Over received positive reviews from critics. AllMusic's Stephen Thomas Erlewine says "Gold records and radio hits came later, but this is the album where everything fell into place for George Thorogood; it's the record that defined what came afterward, and it remains one of his best."[1] Robert Christgau writes that "It's impossible not to be charmed by Thorogood's enthusiasm, and instrumentally this band is as likable as, say, Hound Dog Taylor's HouseRockers."[2]
