🌴 “Thunder Island” is the title track and lead single from Jay Ferguson’s second studio album. Released in October 1977, it became Ferguson’s first hit as a solo artist, peaking at #9 on the Billboard Hot 100. The lyrics recount a romantic encounter with a woman on a fictional island of the same name, as the two weather a storm and eventually part ways. The song features a slide guitar solo from Joe Walsh of Eagles fame, and was produced by Bill Szymczyk, who worked extensively with Walsh. 🎹 �
