Oklahoma's Dwight Twilley Band were one of those bands to achieve some success right out of the gate. Their first single, "I'm of Fire", made it all the way to #16 in the Billboard charts. When I first heard this song, I could have sworn it was from the 80's. It seems to have that guitar driven pop rock that would develop in the 80's as an alternative to pure pop and the hair bands. Perhaps the band was ahead of his time. Unfortunately, the band's initial success would never be matched. The band would eventually dissolve by 1978.
Dwight would go on to befriend Tom Petty and provide backing vocals on some of his songs.
