Texas Tornados to release new album March 2
Legendary Tex-Mex supergroup the Texas Tornados will release “Esta Bueno” (“It’s Good,” in English, though any Austinite should know that already) on March 2 on Bismeaux Records, the label of Asleep at the Wheel front man Ray Benson.
The lineup will include original members Augie Meyers and Flaco Jimenez, as well as Shawn Sahm, the son of legendary Texas musician Doug Sahm, who was one of the founding members of the group. The album will also contain five previously unreleased vocal takes from another founding member, Freddy Fender — the Tejano country and rock and roll musician who died of lung cancer in 2006.
The band will be performing at Benson’s birthday celebration on March 16 and will also make an appearance at the South By Southwest Music Festival.
