Ray Benson, of Asleep at the Wheel fame, said it best: “I think the lesson here is don’t try to stop a tornado.”
Those words have never been more true. As the legendary Texas Tornados make their way across the country with the release of the new album, Está Bueno, it seems even the deaths of Tornado members Freddy Fender and Doug Sahm couldn’t stop them.
Last week, the Tornados played before a large, family-oriented crowd at Zilker Park as part of KGSR’s Blues on the Green concert series. We haven’t seen Zilker looking this green since, well… ever. It was a nice, relaxing evening with all the hits and plenty of dancing. Check out some pictures below by Austin Vida photographer Hanlly Sam.
