I first recorded this original way back in 1977. It was the title cut of my banjo instrumental album, Thunderhead. I was blessed to have been able to do that project. Bobby Thompson, my banjo hero, even wrote the liner notes!
I also had several very talented friends who helped make the music possible, considering the lack of talent and experience on my part! One of those musicians was Rupert Oysler on harmonica. I have wanted to record a new version of Thunderhead for some time, and was super excited when Rupert agreed to play again on this latest version! I hope you enjoy it..
