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. This top 30 single brought Thunderbird out to the big time, leaving an indelible mark in the music history books. Thunderbird Recordings was owned and operated by Jim Allison, a man who bled country music. This book is his story; his roster of 18 acts and the trials and tribulations of running a small label in 1970’s Canada. Thunderbird ceased operations in the spring of 1979 after four years, but in that time left a considerable musical catalogue. This book includes the Thunderbird Story as well as 40 biographies; 16 Thunderbird acts such as JK Gulley & Dusty Road, Charlie Louvin, Don Oatman, Roger Quick, Jan Stevens, The Muir Family, and Whisky Hollow, plus 34 acts associated with Thunderbird, including; Marie Bottrell, Johnny Burke, Harry Hibbs, Fred McKenna, The Mercey Brothers, Ruth Ann (Wallace) Onley, Gerry Risser, Barbara (Saunders) Axford, Terry Sumsion, and Michelle Wright. Painstakingly researched over a two year period with extensive research and over sixty interviews, this book is the untold story, a moment in time, a forgotten memory, but still just as important to know and celebrate; That Brant County Sound! The Ballad of Jim Allison and Thunderbird Recordings.
