The Fabulous Thunderbirds The Jimmie Vaughan Years - Complete Studio Recordings 1978 - 1989 (4-CD)

(CRS) 88 tracks, including a 12-inch hardcover book by Bill Bentley with a collection of rare photos and the band's history.

The 4-CD deluxe set contains all recordings in chronological order, including studio recordings by the Fabulous Thunderbirds from the time when Jimmie Vaughan and Kim Wilson were still members of the band.

It begins with thirteen previously unreleased tracks from sessions they recorded in 1978 for a potential album (produced by Doc Pomus) that was never released, but is now available in stores for the first time. The five-hour compilation then traces their career through all subsequent releases on Takoma, Chrysalis, and Epic until Jimmie left the band in 1989 to pursue a solo career—a total of eight albums: The Doc Pomus Sessions 1978; The Fabulous Thunderbirds (Girls Go Wild); What's The Word?; Butt Rockin'; T-Bird Rhythm; Tuff Enuff; Hot Number; Powerful Stuff.
