Album Review

Predictably, this debut album by a sort of tex-mex Traveling Wilburys is a delight. Forty percent of the Sir Douglas Quintet -- Doug Sahm and Augie Meyers -- is represented, along with Freddy Fender and accordionist Flaco Jimenez. The album reflects the differing strains that each brings to the music, from the more pop/country approach of Sahm and Meyers to Fender's bluesy singing and Jimenez's Mexican playing. An all-star project that brings out the best in its members, Texas Tornados is a landmark tex-mex album. (The track "Soy de San Luis" won the 1990 Grammy Award for Best Mexican/American Performance.) ~ William Ruhlmann, All Music Guide
