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.

Although it was marketed as a new release in 1986, "Nadine" is actually a repackaged version of the 1979 vinyl album "Better Than the Rest" that was reissued on compact disc.  The songs on "Nadine" were Thorogood's first recordings, which were made in 1974. George Thorogood (born February 24, 1950) is an American musician, singer and songwriter from Wilmington, Delaware.  His "high-energy boogie-blues" sound became a staple of 1980s rock radio, with hits like his original songs "Bad to the Bone" and "I Drink Alone".  He has also helped popularize older songs by American icons, such as "Move It on Over", "Who Do You Love? ", and "House Rent Boogie/One Bourbon, One Scotch, One Beer", which became staples of classic rock radio. Better Than the Rest is the third album (mini-album) of songs by George Thorogood and the Destroyers, recorded in 1974 and released in 1979.  At the time the songs were recorded, Thorogood was an unknown artist who was not signed to a record label.  In 1979, after Thorogood had released his first two official albums on Rounder Records, "Better Than The Rest" was released by MCA.  In 1986, the songs from this album were released on compact disc with the title "Nadine" using a different track order.

"Willie and the Hand Jive" is a song written by Johnny Otis and originally released as a single in 1958 by Johnny Otis Show, reaching #9 on the "Billboard" Hot 100 chart and #5 on the Billboard R&B chart.  The song has a Bo Diddley beat and was partly inspired by the music sung by a chain gang Otis heard while he was touring.  The lyrics are about a man who became famous for doing a dance with his hands, but the song has been accused of glorifying masturbation.  It has since been covered by numerous artists, including The Strangeloves, Eric Clapton, Cliff Richard, Kim Carnes, George Thorogood and The Grateful Dead.  Clapton's 1974 version was also released as a single and also reached the Billboard Top 40, peaking at #26.  Thorogood's 1985 version reached #25 on the Hot Mainstream Rock Tracks chart.
