Tornados: Storm or no Storm

"The Austin City Limits session is my favourite burst from these guys, and that extra star is reserved for that performance. Songs just a tad more appealing, particularly Freddy Fender's weepies. It's essentially the same diet, though. Bright, breezy and as big as the western skies; a far cry from my only live performance of the late, great Sir Doug at the Bottom Line in 1978, when darker atmospherics prevailed.(and Kinky Friedman and cigar were the main act!) Flaco Jiminez's accordion is essential to the Tornado's sonics and he's got plenty of room here to stretch out."

"I'm not a great lover of country-western music but the Texas Tornado's style of Tex-Mex music takes me back to my days in El Paso and some of the seedier dives in Juarez. Yeeee-hah!!!"
