The band’s first two albums were released in the year 1979 and 1980 with Kim Wilson’s lead vocals and harmonica, Jammie Vaughan as the lead guitarist, and Keith Ferguson on bass guitar.
Both these albums were initially sold through the Small numbers printed approx. 3000 units but these are now regarded as significant blues recording.
The third album of the band Butt-Rocking which released in 1981 took the band a step closer to old rhythm and blues and also included additional musicians playing piano and brass.
With hits like Tuff Enuff, the Fabulous Thunderbirds appeared on every major motion picture soundtrack and toured internationally.
Throughout the 1980s the band made several personnel changes as each successive album met with only limited commercial success.
Despite mediocre record sales the band continued to record and tour until 1986 when its album Tuff Enuff produced by Dave Edmunds of Rockpile reached no. 10 on the billboard charts and finally went platinum.
