Each began acting guitar during childhood, Stevie Ray inspired to take up the instrument by his old brother. Jimmie Vaughan played in various groups in Dallas and Austin before hooking up with singer/harmonica player Kim Wilson and forming the Fabulous Thunderbirds in 1974. The group was signed to Chrysalis Records, for which they made little Joe albums, starting with a self-titled 1979 debut. The moment and tierce of them, What's the Word (1980) and Butt Rockin' (1981), made the lour reaches of the charts, but the ring was dropped by the label after the commercial failure of T-Bird Rhythm in the fall of 1982.

Stevie Ray Vaughan went into rehab, while the Fabulous Thunderbirds' follow-ups to Tuff Enuff, Hot Number (1987) and Brawny Stuff (1989), did not match its commercial success. Jimmie Vaughan amicably parted from the band in June 1990.
