Sir Douglas Quintet - Live From Austin, TX [CD]
We're talkin' TEX-MEX ROCK 'N' ROLL! In this show from January 21st, 1981, Doug Sahm (a/k/a Sir Doug) reunites with original band members Augie Meyers and Johnny Perez, along with legendary Alvin Crow on guitar and Speedy Sparks on bass for a no-holds-barred, rip-snortin' Texas rock 'n' roll revival. Back in the day, the Sir Douglas Quintet was Texas's answer to the British invasion. With the arrival of the Beatles, Sir Doug & Co. saw their chance to break out the rough, Chicano-influenced rock they had been playing in the joints around San Antonio. They donned English-looking suits and hit the charts with "She's About A Mover" in 1965. Nobody was quite sure where they came from, but they rode the English-pop wave to fame.
