Search - Sir Douglas Band :: Texas Tornado

Composed of sessions recorded in New York for Doug Sahm and Band and newer sessions recorded in Northern California by Wally Heider, Texas Tornado went more in an R&B direction on side one, and then veered wildly (as was Doug's custom) to more rock and Tex-Mex on side two. Too, it was even more of a commercial flop than its predecessor, yet its reliance on original material--Sahm penned eight of the 11 songs--make this a favorite album among many of his fans. Includes `San Francisco FM Blues'; `Someday'; `Blue Horizon'; `Tennessee Blues'; `Ain't That Loving You'; `Texas Tornado'; `Juan Mendoza'; `Chicano'; `I'll Be There'; `Hard Way', and `Nitty Gritty'. From 1973.
