The Ballad of Jim Allison and Thunderbird Recordings
Usually printed in 3 - 5 business days
On February 4th 1978 Roger Quick peaked at #29 with his trucking themed hit, "Ten miles from Home,” on the Canadian country charts. His record label, Thunderbird Recordings, was based in Burford, ON, and this top 30 single suddenly brought Thunderbird out to the big time, leaving an indelible mark in the music history books. Thunderbird was owned and operated by Jim Allison, a man who bled country music. This book is his story; his trials and tribulations of running a small label in 1970’s Canada. This tome includes the Thunderbird Story as well as 40 biographies; JK Gulley & Dusty Road, Charlie Louvin, Don Oatman, Roger Quick, Jan Stevens, and Whisky Hollow, plus Marie Bottrell, Johnny Burke, Harry Hibbs, Fred McKenna, The Mercey Brothers, Ruth Ann Onley, Gerry Risser, Terry Sumsion, The Walters Family Band and Michelle Wright. This book is the untold story, a moment in time, a forgotten memory, but still just as important to know and celebrate! A dig into the past can turn out to be a real blast!
