THE FABULOUS THUNDERBIRDS - TUFF ENOUGH - BLUE COLOR - VINYL LP

Produced by Dave Edmunds, this album successfully aimed the band in a more mainstream direction than the four commercially released albums that had preceded it when the single Tuff Enuff hit number ten in the Billboard Top 100 singles chart. The track was featured in the films Gung Ho and Tough Guys, as was the follow-up single Wrap It Up. With Kim Wilson on vocals and harmonica, Jimmie Vaughan on guitar and Fran Christina on drums, it was the first studio recorded album to be released with Preston Hubbard replacing Keith Ferguson on bass. Other guest contributors on various tracks include Al Copley and Chuck Leavall on keyboards, Geraint Watkins on accordion and Cesar Rosas and David Hidalgo providing additional vocals.
