"The Thunder Rolls" is a song co-written and recorded by American country music artist Garth Brooks. It was released in April 1991 as the fourth and final single from his album No Fences. The song became his sixth number one on the country chart.[3] Co-writer Pat Alger plays acoustic guitar on the track.
The song was first recorded by Tanya Tucker, but it was shelved until 1995 when it appeared on her self-titled box set. Her version includes a fourth verse alluding to infidelity and husband murder.[4] The shorter version of the song was covered by heavy metal band All That Remains on their 2017 album Madness.
