The Fabulous Thunderbirds - Whats The Word

mirkomandic

Review by Mirko Mandic

The Fabulous Thunderbirds' album "What's The Word" is a must-listen for blues and rock enthusiasts. The album features eleven tracks that showcase the band's signature sound, which blends blues, rock, and soul. The album kicks off with the upbeat and energetic track "Stand Back," which sets the tone for the rest of the album. The rhythm section is tight, and the guitars are gritty and soulful, providing the perfect backdrop for lead singer Kim Wilson's powerful and expressive vocals.

The album also features some standout tracks, such as "Wait On Time," which features a catchy guitar riff and a driving rhythm section that will get your feet tapping. "She's Tuff" is another standout track, with its infectious chorus and Wilson's soulful delivery. The album also includes a cover of the classic blues song "Scratch My Back," which the band gives their own unique twist.

What are you people talking about?  The genesis of this song dates back to a song composed, recorded, and released in 1934 by Buddy Moss.  It's called "Hey Lawdy Mama."  In 1961 Willie Dixon made some significant changes, and it was recorded and released by Howlin Wolf.  "Meet Me At the Bottom."  Bonner recorded the Dixon/Wolf version in 1968.  When the T-Birds released this version, they unethically gave nobody song writing credit.  It is listed as "traditional."  Despite the fact that it sounds a whole lot  like the Dixon/Wolf version.  Dixon had a slam dunk lawsuit against the T-Birds.  But the Birds got lucky.  Dixon was after bigger game.  Namely, Led Zeppelin.  Eventually Dixon and Zep settled out of court.  But Dixon got millions, if not tens of millions of dollars.

@TDKIII No completely different song. The original is By Juke Boy Bonner. Look it up it's on youtube.

The blues is a a derivative style of music. Willie Dixon sued Led Zepplin for copping one of his tunes.

What's really cool is the T-Bird's version differs from Juke Boy Bonner's in that Juke Boy's original is done at a faster clip with just guitar & harp, whereas the 'Bird's version is slowed down some, the rhythm's more gutbucket & thicker, and the beat gives it a catchy groove--thus both versions are way recommended. Music fans who think the 'Birds only did "Tuff Enuff" might have their knowledge broadened by this earlier track. When that opening riff starts I can't help but stand at attention!
