Texas Tornados - Live from Austin TX MP3 Download

Live from Austin TX CD music Attention rock & roll fans! Presenting John Fogerty -- the name you know, the music you trust -- in a new, improved 2004 version! DEJA VU ALL OVER AGAIN contains tunes that admirers of classic rock can appreciate, like the old-school acoustic blues-rock of "Honey Do." The record features themes reminiscent of Fogerty's heyday, particularly the quasi-political title track. And just when you thought it couldn't get any better, there's Mark Knopfler laying down those "Sultans of Swing" licks on "Nobody's Here Anymore." Owing a lot to Creedence Clearwater Revival circa PENDULUM, the DEJA VU of the album's title feels more like a summing up. The crispy riffs of "She's Got Baggage" and the Cream-y "In the Garden" may rock harder, leaner, and cleaner than anything Fogerty has ever done, but "Rhubarb Pie" and "I Will Walk with You" have a feel reminiscent of Fogerty's BLUE RIDGE RANGERS album. Elsewhere, the "Wicked Old Witch" could be the wife of Fogerty's earlier "The Old Man Down the Road." Fortunately, this all adds up to the kind of familiarity that breeds anything but contempt, making DÉJA VU a warm reminder of this rock & roll giant's gift. First New Studio Album In 6 Years.

Live from Austin TX buy CD music In an era of wishy-washy singer-songwriters, Zevon immediately stood out as a wild card, a singer unafraid of the heat in kitchen. His first albums revealed a gifted songwriter equally comfortable with heroin-based love songs and manic rockers rife with gunplay. With STAND IN THE FIRE however, he leaps into the flames with headlong abandon. Backed by a band of unknowns, Zevon embraces the spontaneous frenzy of what live performances aspire to but rarely achieve. The band pushes Zevon towards the edge of losing control and he answers every lick with crazed purpose. He throws in marvelously extemporaneous lyrics during "Werewolves of London," screaming bloodlust while calling for the head of James Taylor. Mayhem reaches an apex during a pounding "Poor, Poor Pitiful Me," in which he actually threatens to kill the audience if they don't dance. There is no real threat of bodily harm while listening in the comfort of your own home, though the urge to light fires and empty revolvers into the sofa may become overpowering. Why this searing live document, which captures the singer at the peak of his powers, has not been released on CD in anybody's guess. The 1981 live album masterpiece "Stand In The Fire", until now woefully out of print, prompted allmusic.com to write, “No one argues that Warren Zevon is a gifted singer and songwriter, but "Stand In The Fire" proves that, when he wants to, he can also rock with the best of ‘em.” Recorded at L.A.’s Roxy theatre in 1981, the disc features the two unforgettable original songs Zevon debuted on that year’s tour, “The Sin” and “Stand In The Fire.” Also includes searing versions of “Lawyers, Guns And Money,” “Werewolves Of London,” “Poor, Poor Pitiful Me,” “I’ll Sleep When I’m Dead,” “Mohammed’s Radio,” and “Jeannie Needs A Shooter,” a co-write with Bruce Springsteen, among other stellar performances. Boasts liner notes by David Fricke and four previously unreleased cuts including “Johnny Strikes Up The Band,” “Frank And Jesse James,” and “Hasten Down The Wind.”

Live from Austin TX songs Never one to tread the expected path, Lucinda Williams followed her big breakthrough album, CAR WHEELS ON A GRAVEL ROAD, with a pair of low-key records full of sad, quiet, fragile songs (interrupted by the occasional barn-burner). LIVE @ THE FILLMORE concentrates heavily on those latter two releases, unleashing all the intense, burning emotions that lay at their core, making plain the inherent frisson lurking below the surface of such ostensibly laconic tunes as "Lonely Girls" and "Righteously." Meanwhile, songs that already had plenty of bite in their studio versions are pumped up to an even more electrifying, visceral level (a bold, crunching "Changed the Locks;" the roaring, bluesy "Joy"). The debt Williams and her band owe to Neil Young & Crazy Horse is illuminated on "Are You Down," and, elsewhere, a spoken intro finds the singer laying bare her affection for ZZ Top. Clearly, revelations of all kinds abound on this double-disc concert document. Recording information: The Fillmore, San Francisco, CA (11/20/2003/11/22/2003). Personnel: Lucinda Williams (vocals, acoustic guitar, electric guitar); Lucinda Williams; Doug Pettibone (guitar, lap steel guitar, pedal steel guitar, mandolin, harmonica, background vocals); Jim Christie (keyboards, drums, percussion); Taras Prodaniuk (bass guitar, background vocals). Audio Mixer: Michael Dumas.

Live from Austin TX album for sale In 1990, country music legend Doug Sahm joined with organist Augie Meyer, accordionist Flaco Jimenez, and guitarist Freddie Fender to craft a Tex-Mex fusion of country, blues, and rock under the moniker Texas Tornados. The stellar supergroup is captured live in this 1990 appearance on PBS's AUSTIN CITY LIMITS, which has been expanded from its televised half-hour episode to include all 90 minutes of the performance, featuring classics like "(Hey Baby) Que Paso," "A Man Can Cry," "Laredo Rose," and "She Never Spoke Spanish to Me." This DVD, the band's first ever, includes the Tornados' entire performance, not just the half hour seen on PBS. 19 tracks are included.

Live from Austin TX CD music The Texas Tornados quietly folded in the wake of the death of Doug Sahm in 1999, but roughly a decade later they just as quietly became a going concern under the direction of his son Shawn, reuniting for regular gigs and a new album called ­Esta Bueno!. Released in March of 2010 (alongside the publication of the first-ever Doug Sahm biography entitled -- what else -- Texas Tornado), ­Esta Bueno! revives a couple of Sir Doug staples ("Chicano" and Bobby Charles' "Tennessee Blues"), and also several unreleased performances from the other departed Tornado, Freddy Fender -- a whopping five, including a handful of new songs, their presence giving ­Esta Bueno! an even stronger feel of a classic Texas Tornados album. And that's the entire intent of ­Esta Bueno!: this is designed as a continuation, not a revival, of the band's signature Tex-Mex style, and since Shawn Sahm, Augie Meyers, and Flaco Jimenez are old road dogs, they miss not a step when they fall back into their old groove. Like much roots rock made since the Tornados' 1990 debut, ­Esta Bueno! is a shade too clean in its production -- it could use just a bit of grit in its sound -- but it's hard to complain too much because the spirit of the record is so joyous, it's hard not to smile as it plays. ~ Stephen Thomas Erlewine

Live from Austin TX buy CD music Recorded live for the classic TV series Austin City Limits, this disc captures the 1981 reunion of the Sir Douglas Quintet. While Doug Sahm played with many of the Quintet's key members throughout his career (most notably, ace keyboardist Auggie Meyers), he was always at his most jovial when playing under the Quintet moniker, and this rollicking performance proves no exception. Falling into a ragged yet irresistible groove, the band runs through back-catalog garage-rockers ("Mendicino" and "She's About A Mover"), country tunes ("Is Anybody Goin' To San Antone"), and requisite Tex-Mex numbers ("Ya No Llores/Chicano"). As this wonderful performance shows, Sahm encompasses the whole of Texas music, and at the heart of that sound is, naturally, soul. Because, to paraphrase the Quintet's song "Crossroads" (performed here), you just can't live in Texas if you don't have a lot of it. Audio Mixers: Chet Himes; Gary Briggs . Liner Note Author: Terry Lickona. Recording information: Austin, TX. Photographer: Scott Newton. The Sir Douglas Quintet: Doug Sahm, Johnny Perez, Alvin Crow, Speedy Sparks, Augie Meyers. Personnel: Doug Sahm (vocals, guitar); Alvin Crow (guitar, fiddle); Shawn Sahm (guitar); Augie Meyers (accordion, organ); John Perez (drums).
