Q (10/00, p.153) - 3 stars out of 5 - "...A format-defying mix: breezy Tex-Mex polkas and Spanish love songs rub shoulders with bluesy honky tonk and straight rock'n'roll..."
The ultimate Tex-Mex supergroup, Texas Tornados were composed of some of the genre's most legendary figures: Doug Sahm, Augie Meyers, Hispanic country star Freddy Fender, and accordion virtuoso Flaco Jimenez. The group's infectious, party-ready sound blended country, early rock & roll, Mexican folk music, R&B, blues, and whatever other roots musics crossed their paths.
