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 Bill Mack and Bash Hofner, this 2-CD set 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 nifty fifty also includes gems from Doug Sahm, Thumper Jones and Bennie Hess. Carefully compiled 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.

Texas Tornados
One of the best and cheapest package about Texas 50's rockin' music. An essential purchase for the cool cats and rockin' kitten who digs rock-a-billy music. Don't mess with Texas, that state was really rockin' right from Dallas to Houston. Buy it!

Great Sound
I bought this because, of course, Texas, some of the music is old-timey, but it grew on me, because the sound is GREAT. I was surprised, so many of the tracks sound like they were recorded yesterday, not 50-60 years ago! (Oddly enough, the Buddy Holly recording sounds dull by comparison, obviously an '80's master). Includes some fascinating early songs by future stars, in their rockabilly period. So nice to get this music and hear it with the impact it must have had live. I haven't seen a compilation like this produced in Texas itself, so they did a good job issuing these CDs. ( And, lest the CD title seem misleading, technically, Doug Sahm, whose 'Crazy Daisy' is included, was later in The Texas Tornados group).
