Texmex

Friend turned me on to these guys last nigh

Freddy Fender, Flaco Jimenez, Doug Sahm...and a fourth guy I can't identify. Old as the friggin' hills. Ry Cooder once put together a similar group. Here's a sample:

Love the accordion in those

probably the first texmex r&r band ever-the fireballs. i have there first album and when they were in edmonton several years ago, i had the remaining 3 originals sign the album. this vid shows they are still at it after all those years. original recording was 1959.

I'm sooo sorry you chose to share that, Pedro.

i chose the live version,because i thought it was really neat that they were still at it. the recording is much better.
when they were in edmonton,the guy with the cream coloured fender strat, had white hair down to his shoulders like johnny winter.
i actually still wear the t-shirt i bought at the event.
