@lordsinclair1975 The Texas Tornados are still playing, and touring! Freddy and Doug are gone , but Augie,Flaco, Louie Ortega, Speedy Sparks, Ernie Durawa are still with the group. Throw in Nunie Rubio and Louie Mendez , and the Texas Tornados are alive and well!
@Abstractstv I know..... also Shwan Sahm is keeping his father´s musical legacy alive. but the "real" tornados, there must be Doug, Freddy and Oscar. They were a dream team, just like Waylon and the Moon-Man....some things are like shit... you can not touch them......
Very nice, but good guitar solo is missing in this version...:-(, Instead accordion is well presented here and improves the quality of the song. Any way all stars!
Im honored to have picked up Freddy Fender @ the airport and he stayed at The Wyndham Austin Hotel, was truly a unigue experience I will never forget :) God Speed Freddy
@mvarahadas: for me, Augie is the man to blame why I learnt to play the piano, in addition to guitar and pedal steel ;-)... And I rehearsed this solo 1000 times, but I will never sound like Augie.
Brings back great memories as I saw these guys at the great state fair of Texas, Dallas in 1991 on my first visit to the USA. There will never be another band like them.
@davequ -I bought it at issue and years later found some for 50 cents for the whole LP! I got two more cuz I wore out the original,before CD times.They had a great steel player,dobro,piano along with the guys on this who of course were the core.
Doug,Auggie,Flaco,THA Halapenio, GOD BLESS YOU ALL. I still think back on those nights on tha tour bus on Kostores st. down in corpus town.Outside tha lonesome coyote Saloon! those wer tha days!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Just such a great blend of musical style......German Mexican? Who would of thought....

I brought this home (the original album) when it first came out. So many years later, this take has so much life.
Viva Doug, Freddy, Flaco, Augie and the Texas Tornados!
