Many make a debate out of which incarnation of DP is the best. But I have enjoyed each incarnation each for its own reasons.

I dislike her voice and find that she does everything as if it were "new country". Others are free to like it; I do not.Just saw her playing live (on SNL or the Tonight Show) the other day. It’s not stuff I listen to, but IMO she’s actually quite a good singer.
There was a full real band, very few superfluous vocal runs, and no auto-tune

I get it, but I gotta have Lord, Glover, and Blackmore and Paice.
I’d rather listen to Geddy.
By the way, enjoyed your Pbass post.
Thanks for confirming Scott. I should have been more precise that is was the NRs that were often mixed. Don't think I ever saw an early Thunderbird that wasn't all nickle.
I refuse to click on the last one.
Another cover.
I like this one.
Free cover. I posted a live version though the quality isn't that great because it kind of captures the energy of Blackfoot in concert. Talk about hot. They started out on fire and built from there. So much musical (not theatrical) energy you were somewhat drained after it was over.
White Thunderbird Wednesday?

I'm with you. I'm just hoping she wasn't born in Ky like her dad.
Congrats on the sale. That is still one of the best looking guitars I've seen. I love it. Had I not had a strat and didn't need two, I would have bought it in a heart beat.
As our Floridian brother would say - tweechy zone. I found her cover of Blondie's song lacking in warmth and feel and emotion. It's almost like she had never heard the original song before and was just singing it out loud while looking at the sheet music. I did like that she didn't use obvious amounts of auto tune (if any) unlike so many female artists do these days. She's not my cup of tea, yet. But she does have the potential to improve with age. Maybe when she matures a bit and stops acting like a Girls Gone Wild high school cheerleader on spring break after a half dozen Jell-O shots I'll have more respect for her music.
(Then again, maybe I just need the Jell-O shots to respect her music).
I like a lot of new country, but not a fan of her sound/image/persona.
Well, I don't know if I'd go that far... on second thought, yes, I'll go that far.
Bingo! That might be my biggest problem with her musical contributions. It's all so predictable and merchandised. It seems like she spends more effort trying to sell her look than her sound.
I guess I was mistakenly under the impression that all TBirds from the 60's had nickel covered pups, not Chrome. Learn something new here every day.
That's ok, I didn't like her dad either.

Is NBW a thing? To be honest, I was never a fan of the Guild "metal" guitars and basses in the early/mid 80s. I remember the B-301 and 302s (roughly 1977-81), but they never stood out all that much to me until I saw one recently and immediately knew I needed one. These photos are straight out of the box. I'm gonna try and be done for a while...
I can honestly say the 2 videos here are the first I've ever heard of her-partly.
It's hard to get this in a photo, but anyone have any idea what this might be from? This is the 1976 BC Rich. The sort of circle outline around the pickup. It's perfectly symmetrical and flat at the bottom. I have no idea what it is. You can only see it in certain light.
