VARIOUS ARTISTS - TEXAS TORNADOS - ROCK 'N' ROLL FROM THE LONE STAR STATE -

U.K FANTASTIC VOYAGE

BRAND NEW & SEALED - 2 LP SET

Having loaded up the station wagon and filled the gas tank, Fantastic Voyage continues its exciting musical travelogue exploring some of the rockin’est recordings from across the USA.

Indicative of its independent spirit, rarely has a state offered more musical originality than Texas.  From steel-laden Western Swing and dusty, downhome C&W, to flat out Rockabilly and proto-Tex Mex Rock, Texas Tornados is a whirlwind of hot tamale talent; high-steppers, hep cats and hipsters all, whose wild waxings helped make the Lone Star state sparkle on Rock’n’Roll’s map.

Featuring Big Beat pioneers The Crickets and Jape Richardson (aka The Big Bopper) alongside the good time honky tonk of Bash Hofner, Texas Tornados samples the diverse delights of local labels Sarg, Starday and D, all of which helped define the regional sound. With contributions from Ronnie Dawson, Jett Powers and Trini Lopez, this 2LP set also includes gems from Doug Sahm, Thumper Jones and Bob Luman.

Carefully compiled by Lucky Parker in conjunction with the Wild Wax Show’s deejay “Jailhouse” John Alexander, Texas Tornados offers an authentic selection sure to appeal to both avid collectors and those just beginning their journey of discovery.
