High Water

Reader Reviews
I heard different things about High Water after I bought it...I'd heard the record label slapped the "Fabulous Thunderbirds" label on it in an effort to cash in on this collection of tracks Kim Wilson recorded with studio and road veterans Danny Kortchmar and Steve Jordan. Bear in mind: this is not a Thunderbirds album, in the context of what you'd expect. No run and gun tracks, songs about sexy women and the tradition of Texas-style blues that the 'birds are known for. No, this is a more personal set of songs, rock-edged and really quite good on their own. The title track is an almost gospel-sounding song, and there are some really well-written tracks here. "Tortured" is a blues song, but doesn't have the usual underlying rhythm you might expect, for an example. Either way, this is a good recording. Now that Wilson has become a solo artist in his own right, one should think about starting here to get an idea of what he was looking for, an identity outside the 'birds.
