In 2003, he released the album I Just Wanna Do My Thing via View 2. The album included the single "It Can All Be Gone", which peaked at number 59 on the Hot Country Songs charts. He later signed to Warner Bros. Records Nashville, then to Country Thunder.[3]
Thurston wrote Rodney Atkins' 2009 single "15 Minutes", and cuts by Trace Adkins and Montgomery Gentry.[4] In 2013, Thurston appeared on Game Show Network's Family Trade to compose a jingle for G. Stone Motors in exchange for a new truck.[5] The jingle, "We Trade for Anything" was also used as the show's opening credits theme music.[5]
Thurston's life is the basis of a screenplay co-written by Tim Rhys, the founder of MovieMaker magazine.
