Summary: Superb Effort - Border Music
Comment: I love the synergy in the Texas Tornados -- for me, it's the best work of Freddy Fender and also a fine career capstone for the durable Doug Sahm. I guess you'd call this "Tex-Mex" but I think of it as "Border Music." It borders on the USA and Mexico, it borders on country, folk, and rock. There is great musicianship here, even though it's a completely casual sound. These guys have a feel for the music and it flows like water. In most of the tunes, the accordian drives the music, and you can sense the culture. If I am looking for anything to which this music might be compared, it's the folk side of Los Lobos. Great stuff.

Summary: 4 Aces is a wining hand indeed!
Comment: This has to be the quintisential Tornado recording, all members of the group seem to be in tip top form, performing the fervor of teens, these "oldtimers" can still show their stuff!

Summary: A Winning Hand
Comment: These "Four Aces" may be grandfathers, but they've still got it all. From the music one hears their playfulness, their emotions, their mastery of the music, and their sensuality. Thanks, hombres, for the happy feelings I get when I listen. Don't you just love those men from Texas
