After some problems with Justice he went out of musictill he was re-discovered by producer Huey Meaux whose idea of songssung half in English and half in Spanish led to Freddy's tremendous successon the Country and Pop charts where he stayed until the mid-80's.In 1990 he emerged again to popularity together with Doug Sahm, AugieMeyers and Flaco Jimenez as the supergroup The Texas Tornados probablythe best Tex-Mex music group ever until the sudden death of Doug Sahm(famous leader of the Sir Douglas Quintet back in the 60's)in 1999.Who could foresee that Freddy would come back again winning a GrammyAward with this wonderful "La Música de Baldemar Huerta" 27 years after?A record with wonderful boleros and huapangos showing us the authenticroots of Freddy.
