So

my number two is off of Fandango, which came out in 75.
DeeHOST
It is not the bigger hits off of that album.
DeeHOST
Okay.
DeeHOST
I won't say this is number one.
DeeHOST
Probably The Grange is my number one, but this is in the top three.
DeeHOST
It's also off of Fandango.
DeeHOST

They got to do albums as artist development.
Ray KoobHOST
You know, the first record, um, called First Album, and then Rio Grande Mud, and Tres Hombres, really, those albums were them developing the sound that they would have later in their career, and laying the basis for everything that would explode on Fandango.

When you get to, you know, 1975's Fandango, which is one half new songs and one half live, all of a sudden it's like a turning point for the band.
Ray KoobHOST
Crowds are getting bigger, they're starting to play arenas.

But they talk about the Texas music and the Texas sound and, and the mystique behind them, which I think was very important in creating their image and kind of introducing them to the world, because people had this view back then of Texas that wasn't necessarily positive.
