  • Kim Wilson Knows You Can't Fake the Blues (#011)
    Jun 26 2025

    Kim Wilson doesn’t just play the blues — he lives it. The Fabulous Thunderbirds frontman, singer, and harmonica legend joins Jimmy Sengenberger to reflect on a storied career — from being embraced by Little Walter and James Cotton to building a legacy of his own.

    Kim dishes on the Thunderbirds’ wild days in Austin, his drive to keep traditional blues alive — taking sharp aim at “blues/rock” — and why his upcoming solo album The Time Has Come may be his rawest yet. He’s also heading back to the Blues from the Top Festival in Winter Park, Colorado — where, at 9,000 feet, one thing’s for sure: “It’s hard to breathe!”

    And as always, Kim keeps it real: “We weren’t trying to fit a box — we just wanted to make good music.”
