“I think Struck Down is my best album with The Fabulous Thunderbirds… by far.”
That is an amazing statement from Kim Wilson, the band’s leader, main songwriter, vocalist, and harmonica player. This is the group that created classic albums like T-Bird Rhythm and Tuff Enuff. Powered by hits like the title track and “Wrap It Up,” Tuff Enuff went platinum, selling more than one million copies. Wilson has been nominated for Grammy Awards six times and for
Blues Music Awards more than 20 times. Muddy Waters called Wilson his favorite vocalist and the greatest harmonica player since Little Walter.
So, when a musician with Wilson’s stature and body of work says The Fabulous Thunderbirds just created their “best album… by far,” you pay attention.
When talking about the full-time members of the Thunderbirds, Wilson said, “The strength of this band has inspired me to be more creative. This band really allows me to do anything I want to do: modern, traditional, anything in between. They are masters of it all.”
And as for what’s next…
“I'm far from finished.”
