...Usher utilized the best studio players of the day, who also worked with the Beach Boys and Jan & Dean, including Billy Strange, Glen Campbell, Leon Russell, Ray Pohlman, Hal Blaine, and Jerry Cole. Originally issued on Capitol in early 1964, Thunder Road was the first full-length LP by the Super Stocks and includes 11 cuts loosely based around car themes, specifically the title track, which had been a 1958 hit for actor Robert Mitchum from the film of the same name. The remaining ten cuts are similar high-speed hot rod anthems, including "Trophy Run," "Draggin' Deuce," "Hot to Trot," and "Custom Caravan." As usual, the folks at Sundazed have done excellent work with all three of the Super Stocks LPs; they have restored the original album artwork, featured meticulous mastering from the analog tapes, and included new liner notes by author Stephen McParland. This is an enjoyable, fun reissue recommended to both collectors and casual listeners. - AllMusic Review by Al Campbelltrax:

Thank you RYP for this great album. I stay tuned for the others.
Jeannie
Thanks so much for this classic, RYP!
Iggy
Usher also produced records by Bruce & Terry on Columbia. I believe that he was Bruce and Terry was Doris Day's son.
The Super Stocks were so much fun--thanks for this!
Calvin,
after the next two Super Stocks LPs, I planned two Bruce & Terry "The Best of Bruce & Terry" 1966 and "Rare Masters" 1994 and two Rip Chords's "Three Window Coupe" 1964 and "Hey Little Cobra" 1964 ...
Thank you very much-this was missing in my collection!
Calvin, Usher wasn't Bruce. Bruce was Brunce Johnston later with the Beach Boys. Terry was Terry Melcher, DDoris Day's son indeed.
Usher was not Bruce...that was Bruce Johnston, who ended up, I believe, playing with one of the live Beach Boy groups after Brian's breakdown...and thanks RYP for these shares...always cool stuff
Looks like an interesting piece of history. Just about to start listening now. Thanks!
RVP. Thanks more than I can say for these Superstocks albums.
Been looking for these for a long time.
Am I correct in thinking that members of the WRECKING CREW
were involved in the recording of these?
There was, I think, also an associated single by Robert Mitchum.

Thanks again.
Cheers RYP!
