FREDDY FENDER REVISITED – HE SPANNED DECADES AND MUSICAL STYLES

FREDDY FENDER REMEMBERED – HE SPANNED DECADES AND MUSICAL STYLES

Celebrating Roy Roger’s 100th and coming across his cronies like Freddy Fender made me miss a bunch of these guys. We recently paid tribute to the reformed Texas Tornados, now touring again with half the original band intact, but still missing the key member, in our opinion. So, herre for a moment, one of his unheralded songs but one of the greatest in this tribute to Freddy. The summers an dyears aren’t the same without seeing and hearing your ‘Ay-yi-yi’ in concert! But the music and videos live on, and thereby, so does Freddy Fender.

Then we have something very rare, one of Fender’s ’50s songs , ‘Bye Bye Little Angel.’ And, lastly, we have Freddy with Doug Sahm, Flaco Jimenez and Augie Meyers – THE TEXAS TORNADOES – in a classic 1992 live performance right in Texas, performing a Medley of their hits., ‘Hey Baby Que Paso,’ ‘Who Were You thinking of,.’
