Texas Tornados

by: Texas Tornados

Release Date July 17, 1990
The Texas Tornados are like the reverse of the old big-box-containing-a-smaller-box-containg-a-smaller-box joke that your sister pulled on you when you opened your Christmas present. The band presents you with a brightly-colored package (graphically and musically) that seems somewhat modest at first but over time grows into a dear treasure. The songs unashamedly pluck at all the heartstrings with no apologies and you have to laugh at their brazen chutzpah. The musicians' credentials are voluminous and undeniable. The melding of Sahm-Meyers, Fender and Jimenez is a classic case of the whole being more that the sum of the parts. This Tex-Mex album is the AM-radio soundtrack for a sunny spring day driving south on Interstate 25 with the top down ... Read More:

Hangin' on by a Thread

by: Texas Tornados

Release Date November 10, 1992
The Texas Torenados are a super group, no doubt, and the essence of
conjunto tex-mex music. Most of their CD's deserve and have been given'
5 stars by me but this one is less attractive excluding the two solo
songs by Freddy Fender "Tus Mentiras" and "Trying" which are great great
great recordings and are worth the purchase of this CD. This guy was such
a wonderful artist both in English and Spanish that still today I keep
on purchasing all that's still coming out on the market both on CD and
DVD.

Zone of Our Own

by: Texas Tornados

Release Date September 10, 1991
So far I've rated many Texas Tornados albums and mostly with 5 stars
because they are just incredible. The Southern "gringo" stars Doug
Sahm and Agie Meyers together with "Tex Mex" greatest interpreters
Freddy Fender and Flaco Jimenez created this "conjunto" supergroup.
Every record released by them between 1990 and 1996 is an ode to
all styles of music: blues, country, rock, tex mex, mexican folclore
etc. This particular "Zone Of Our Own" is the best example of all this.
It holds 10 songs and almost 10 styles of music!
If you still don't have this CD, get it while it's still available

Texas Rock for Country Rollers

by: The Texas Tornados

Release Date September 23, 1997
It's a pity that this album is again unavailable on CD. It's not Doug's best by any means but has a few real classic tracks on it. "I Love The Way You Love The Way I Love You" is ones of Doug's best songs; written, I think, by his friend Attwood Allen (who provides fantastic back-up vocals throughout this album). Then there's "Country Groove" and "Cowboy Peyton Place", both of which reappear in Doug's catalogue. And then there's "Give Back The Key To My Heart", one of his most covered songs. Throw in "Wolverton Mountain", "Texas Ranger Man" and "You Can't Hide Your Redneck" and you have a little ripper of an album. It's a bit on the short side but then Shania puts out long albums and that doesn't make them any better. Doug's backed by his "regular" ... Read More:

Los Texas Tornados (Spanish Version)

by: Los Texas Tornados

Release Date February 05, 1991
This CD is an absolute MUST for anyone admiring the sounds of not just the *Los Texas Tornados*, but for anyone wanting to hear some great Texas music. As much as their English versions of some of the songs are good, the Spanish ones make them so much more authetic, and honest - in fact, they should only be sung in Spanish.
The group, in my opinion, set the standard by which all others should be judged by in this genre.
There is nothing like jumping into a car on a nice, sunny day, poping this CD into the player, and going for a loooong drive...be in your own Universe with nothing more than you, and Los Texas Tornados for company.
Highly, highly recommended!
A MUST!!!

Live from the Limo, Vol. 1

by: Texas Tornados

Release Date July 13, 1999
This would have been a great show to have witnessed. Very few live recordings have the quality of sound that we are so accustomed to these days and this is no exception. This recording does convey the spirit of the event and the sheer enjoyment of the musicians in performing. Hopefully their studio recordings have the same good qualities and good recording as well. That is what I am purchasing next and advising whoever reads this to do.
