A classic example of the whole being greater than the sum of its parts, the GRAMMY® winning Blind Boys of Alabama came together in the early `90s with Doug Sahm, Freddy Fender, Flaco Jiménez and Augie Meyers. Over a decade after Sahm's death and with the more recent passing of Fender, Sahm's son Shawn stepped up to the plate to preserve and re-ignite the group's legacy as producer of this brand new release. He personally witnessed the Tornados at each point in their career and asserts: "They made their historical impact by playing a little of everything and not being afraid to cross the barriers in musical culture."

Augie Meyers and Flaco Jimenez reunite with the late Doug Sahm s son, Shawn Sahm, in a new recording that includes five previously unreleased vocal performances from the late Grammy® award winner Freddy Fender. The collection includes new songs written by Fender, such as the swamp pop ballad If I Could Only, an instant new Tornados-style classic written by Doug and Shawn Sahm, Who's to Blame, Senorita, and several Augie Meyers songs recorded for the first time by the Tornados, such as the spunky Velma from Selma and melodic My Sugar Blue.
