Texas Tornados - Texas Tornados
Review by Tierno S. Bah
The Texas Tornados' self-titled album is a true representation of the band's unique sound and style. With a blend of Tex-Mex, country, and rock, this album showcases the group's versatility and ability to seamlessly transition between genres.
From the upbeat and energetic "Adios Mexico" to the soulful ballad "Wasted Days and Wasted Nights," the Texas Tornados effortlessly capture the essence of their Texas roots. The album also features collaborations with legendary musicians such as Doug Sahm and Freddy Fender, adding an extra layer of depth and authenticity to the record.

Comments
Just four virtuoso musicians playing music they love and having a good time doing it. Wonderful stuff that ends much too soon.
