Their third album was a live set in keeping with their signature mix of frat rock, hip 'Seventies stuff, some soul tunes, and twang. The Abbey Of South Texas "Live" (Echo Records, 19-?) (LP) A similar mix of country and rock/pop material, with fist-thumping, booty-shakin' rock hits from folks like Peter Frampton, KC & The Sunshine Band ("Play That Funky Music"), Foghat's "Slow Ride," Steve Miller Band ("Rock'n Me") alongside real-deal country tunes with plenty of Texas twang. Side One of the album was recorded in concert at the Golden Stallion nightclub in San Antonio, while Side Two was recorded at the ZAZ Studio under more controlled circumstances. Of South Texas "Full House" (Echo Records, 1976) (LP) The twangtunes included "Before The Next Teardrop Falls," "Statue Of A Fool," Ray Wiley Hubbard's "Up Against The Wall Redneck Mother," and Lefty Frizzell's "That's The Way Love Goes." This is all balanced by good-timin' rock hits such as "Devil With The Blue Dress," Bad Company's "Movin' On," and ZZ Top's "Tush." Rock on! The original lineup featured steel guitarist Shorty Heinsohn, Denis Kotara (bass), Rick Kotara (lead guitar), Sammy Morales (guitar), Jeffery Teltschik (keyboards), Jerry Teltschik (drums), and Kurt Warnken on "horns." These Lone Star lads forged an interesting mix of current pop/hard rock hits and country classics.
