THE FABULOUS THUNDERBIRDS.

Bio :
The Fabulous Thunderbirds are a rock/blues hybrid band founded in 1974 by harmonica virtuoso Kim Wilson and guitar ace Jimmie Vaughan (older brother of Stevie Ray Vaughan). Beginning primarily as a blues band, the early components of the T-Birds' canon, including their 1979 self-titled debut and the later Girls Go Wild!, inspired a cult following as they relentlessly toured America, earning themselves the status of American roadhouse legend. (These early works were recently re-released in CD form for the first time.) The 'Birds' were influenced primarily by '50's Chicago blues artists including Muddy Waters, James Cotton, and Little Walter, but represented a new entity as one of the first entirely white bands to mix original Chicago blues and later derivative rock styles. Via this reputation and outlook, the T-Birds' established the mold for the '70's blues/rock band. It is also worth noting that, in a music highly defined by region, the T-Birds pulled from a variety of areas. Wilson met Vaughan while travelling in Texas from Detroit by way of California. Most of the other members through the years have come from the Southern California area.

The Fabulous Thunderbirds \ Girls Go Wild 1979.
Although there was no Fabulous Thunderbirds album by the name of Girls Go Wild prior to this 2000 release, this is actually a repackaged version of their self-titled 1979 debut. It has all of the songs from The Fabulous Thunderbirds, in the same sequence, but adds three bonus tracks, as well as liner notes by producer Denny Bruc.
