The Fabulous Thunderbirds is the 1979 debut studio album by the Texas-based blues rock band The Fabulous Thunderbirds.[6][8] The album is often erroneously referred to as "Girls Go Wild" due to the prominence of the words on the cover. The album was reissued via Benchmark Recordings in 2000.[5]

Reception

The Cleveland Scene wrote that the album "generated an excitement among many blues fans on a par with that brought on by the first couple of Paul Butterfield albums more than a decade before."[9]
