they are the legends they are.” Shawn Sahm has been around the music industry since he was 13 and was the perfect person to entrust with preserving the Tornados' legacy. He fine-tuned each track according to the group’s feedback, giving each detail serious attention. Throughout the process, he insisted to all of them, “It is not done until you are happy.” For the album's release, Benson’s Bismeaux Records, in Austin, was an obvious choice. Shawn Sahm commented, “Everyone knew they had a great record and they felt it would be important to go with someone who understood the legacy of the Texas Tornados. I knew Ray was the right guy. They have been friends for a long time. If anyone understood the legacy of the band, it was Ray.” “Having known the original Texas Tornados, I was delighted when Shawn brought me the tracks of the new Texas Tornados CD,” said Benson. “Besides the wonderful Freddy Fender songs recorded shortly before his passing, Augie, Flaco and Shawn have recorded an album true to the Tornados sound and vision. I am honored to present their CD on Bismeaux Records for old fans and I am sure a host of new ones, too.” In addition to the featured members, the recordings include Tornado original musicians Louie Ortega, Speedy Sparks, and Ernie Durawa. Flaco Jiménez stated, “The groove is back.” Discography Albums Singles Music videos References External links Musical groups from Texas Grammy Award winners Country music groups from Texas Tejano music Reprise Records artists Virgin Records artists New West Records artists
