The Fabulous Thunderbirds - Girls Go Wild 1979


The Fabulous Thunderbirds - Girls Go Wild 1979

Blues

This '79 release showcases the band before they would become mainstream pop material with their hit Ain't That Tuff Enuff in the 80's! Here, they are raw and rebellious with their unique sound and blend of the blues meets rock n' soul. From Wilson's deep R&B (almost like, but better than Michael Bolton by a very longshot) vocals to Vaughan's electric guitar playin' and the harmonica demonstrates the T-Birds sheer gift and talent for bringing out some true grit at a time when the airwaves were stale with either the notorious disco era or the heavy rock head bangin' era of pop music (take your pick). This is not just a valuable project based on nostalgic value; It is a timeless piece of the American pop music scene of the late 70's revitalizing and paying homage to other eras of great musical styles and genres; This in itself makes this recording timeless and priceless.

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 Bruce. Why the title change? Well, because the lettering "Girls Go Wild" was so prominent on the cover, it became unofficially known as their "Girls Go Wild" album, and for this reissue, the title change is official. At any rate, it's still the group at their early bluesy best. No hard info about the bonus cuts though, except that all three, oddly, were recorded after drummer Fran Christina (who did not play on the debut album) joined. One of those bonus songs, "Things I Forgot to Do," is an outtake from the band's third album, Butt Rockin', and features members of Roomful of Blues.
