The price for this two-disc set is steep, but the music inside makes it worth every penny. Both the albums "Doug Sahm and Band" and "Texas Tornado" are here complete, along with numerous outtakes and alternate takes. The outtakes are worthwhile, too. They're not the usual cutting-room floor leftovers.The music here is eclectic, as always. Doug jumps from straight blues on "Your Friends" and "Tennessee Blues" to country on "Faded Love" to rock on "Texas Tornado" to Tex-Mex on "Nitty Gritty." Not to mention the songs that are almost to classify as this or that.It's great American music and as the reviewer wrote below, it is indeed the real thang.
