The FABULOUS Thunderbirds
This is what we call the irresponsible rock crit at his worst, enjoying the company of the band he’s talking to so much he doesn’t bother with the deep, meaningless questions. The Fabulous Thunderbirds are as much fun on stage and on vinyl as they are in conversation.

This is what we call the irresponsible rock crit at his worst, enjoying the company of the band he’s talking to so much he doesn’t bother with the deep, meaningless questions. The Fabulous Thunderbirds are as much fun on stage and on vinyl as they are in conversation. But though they are a new time R&B, blues, rock ’n’ roll band, why the hell am 1 discussing Elvis Presley for half an hour? “God,” says the T-Birds vocalist/harmonica player Kim Wilson. “I loved Elvis Presley,” says the T-birds guitarist Jimmie Vaughan. “God,” repeats Kim. “I still do,” continues Jimmie. “God.” “I was one of those boys who spent his youth in front of a mirror with Elvis and an acoustic guitar.” “God,” Kim ends the conversation with. Now can these guys be all bad?
