Doug Pullen: Fabulous Thunderbirds have new life

I've been following Kim Wilson and the Fabulous Thunderbirds ever since the so-called Texas circuit days in the 1970s, when the Austin rock 'n' blues band used to work clubs in Dallas, Houston, Austin and out of the way places like Lubbock, where I went to school, on a regular basis.

Speaking to blues harmonica ace and singer Kim Wilson of The Fabulous Thunderbirds by phone at his suburban Detroit home is akin to making a fast friend at the local watering hole: no pretenses, just a passionate talk about politics, the pros and cons of analog sound, musical heroes, friends past and present and, of course, the blues.
