That’s Plas Johnson on the tenor sax and Earl Palmer beating out the drums. West coast guitar great Rene Hall cut a tune called Thunderbird for Specialty that is a completely different song, but still a great record. The same tune shows up again, missing the dope references on the Roselawn label by the Thunder Rocks, this time titled What’s The Word in version that is pure guitar rock’n’roll. It was covered on Mercury by tenor sax honkin’ man Red Prysock, retitled What’s The Word? Thunderbird! The label dates it to Oct. It’s a raw, crude, fast paced rocker with the classic lines– “ what’s the word?/thunderbird, where do you cop?/ beauty shop, what’s the price?/ cut it twice” giving it cross audience appeal (alkies and dope fiends). My favorite version of Thunder Bird is by Hal Paige & the Whalers, a fine New York based R&B stomping outfit who recorded excellent sides for Atlantic and Fury as well as this one on the Bronx based J&S label (which originally issued Johnnie & Joe’s Over The Mountain, Across The Sea before Chess picked it up). These wines are created for one reason– fast inebriation, and they have been celebrated in song for just that reason. My liver still hurts from it….well, my liver hurts because I have hepatitis C and cirrhosis, but the memory of Thunderbird, and Night Train (see the October posting All Aboard….The Night Train) and Mad Dog 20/20 bring back memories of I drank a lot of this shit hanging out at the Seminole reservation next to where I grew up in Florida when I was a teen. There’s a lot of good versions of Thunderbird, and a lot of good songs called Thunderbird that ain’t the (What’s The Word) Thunderbird tune that sparked the ignition in my brain that led to this blogeration.įor those who don’t know, Thunderbird is a fortified wine much preferred by degenerates and alcoholics everywhere. And I hope Redboy doesn’t mind my borrowing his copy for my blog (feel free to lift anything from this blog for your page, R.B.). Red Boy had posted the Casual-Aires version of (What’s The Word)Thunderbird (Brunswick) along with a record I’ve never heard before, and now want very much– Thunderbird Twist by the Thunderbirds on the Delta label, from here in NYC, year unknown to me. This memory was sparked by an entry a few days ago on the Blues For Redboy blog, one of my favorites. I played with Trane too.Bird and Trane….Thunderbird and Night Train! Ahhahahaha“. Me- “ You played with Bird?” “ Yeah, man” he replied. His eyes were milky red, his lips were cracked. He stuck a dirty, calloused hand out- “Yo, young blood, lemme hold a dollar“. He was dressed in a ragged sharkskin suit, wore a battered, Lester Young style pork pie hat, and he had the mouthpiece of a sax hanging from a cord around his neck.
