Performer Notes

Fabulous Thunderbirds: Kim Wilson (vocals, harmonica); Jimmie Vaughan (guitar); Keith Ferguson (bass); Fran Christina (drums).
Recorded at Third Coast Studios, Austin, Texas. Originally released on Chrysalis Records (FV 41395). Includes liner notes by Denny Bruce.
Digitally remastered by Robert Vosgien (2000 Capitol Mastering).
The T-Birds fourth album was their first recorded with an outside producer, in this case the estimable Nick Lowe, then at the peak of his coolness. Lowe fleshed out the band's sound agreeably if not ostentatiously, and the album that resulted was probably the group's best to date. It's a tad heavier on covers than usual (including a terrific version of "Diddy Wah Diddy" which temporarily erases the memory of Captain Beefheart's) but at least one of leader Kim Wilson's originals, "Poor Boy" (which features a great duel between Wilson's whistling and guitarist Jimmie Vaughan's whammy-bar solos), sounds like an actual half-remembered old-time blues classic.
