Imagine Cuban get armed with missiles.

It's a shame that on today's Country Stations you hardly if ever hear artists like Doug Sahm, Johnny Rodriguez, and Freddy Fender. Today's Country fans don't even realize what they're missing.

I miss Dugh Sahm. The Great Man. Thanks a lot

Still miss Doug Sahm. He died way too young. His work from Sir Douglas Quintet to Texas Tornadoes is the greatest music ever made. Rock on Augie Meyers.

One of the best versions of this tune on the web. Doug had the gift, and he shared it.

If you want the definition of Texas country outlaw rock it's Doug Sahm. Saw him live at the Armadillo circa 1973.

Outlander here. A month ago I had not yet heard the name Doug Sahm, tho i had heard the song Mandocino - German version many times in 1969/70 thereabouts. I knew of Charlie Pride easily forty years before discovering Doug Sahm. Doug Sahm is having a bigger inpact. I feel like I knew the dude in a past life.

Wow, going back from the few songs I recognize from being a kid, definitely a great band and songwriters.

The sound of the country fiddle is just the best there is!

Back when I was in college, at UTSA, in San Antonio, I was an ROTC cadet. I had just left the Marine Corps after many years and was getting my education via the Army to be an officer. The Texas Tornadoes stopped in at Hills and Dales, owned by Coleman Davenport at the time, when that happened to be the uncle of my good friend Trip Davenport from Uvalde, where I was from. Coleman was a hell of a human. He hired ROTC cadets to work his place. He carried over 200 different beers. It was awesome. The crew off loaded the bus, then they set up, played for 5 hours, and we all drank until the sun popped up. Every single one of the Tornadoes was a real American Patriot. They loved us, they played for us, and they even were kind enough to let me bring out my trumpet and trombone to join the group. Special? Amen baby, they were special. Love them for the rest of my life.

Cool story! I graduated from UTSA in 2015, I’m sure a much different landscape from what you experienced, but Hills and Dales was still a cool little dive off the side of the 1604 highway that my buds and I would hang out at. Reading your story and knowing that background makes me appreciate my days there even more.

Doug Sahm musical range was off the charts. I just got through listening to him playing grunge rock music with his boys, than I heard him playing 60's R&B Ray Charles inspired vocals, and now I am hearing him play straight country music. I bet he could rap if he wanted to.

Doug and Augie are pure talent. Just fun, good clean music. It makes me happy and my foot is pretty happy tapping away, too.

Wow, I love this! Doug Sahm is a wild man!

i still hang out with Charlies sons they rock

Man oh man I remember this music when I was a young kid I'm 57 now. I lived in California my whole life the Texas Music and California music as far as this genre is concerned are pretty much the same especially if you grew up in the valley a lot of Okies and Mexicans

Memories.

Agree but for the vocals. It's not that operatic Freddie Mercury stuff, but there was a quality to Doug's voice that I've never heard elsewhere. It's hard to explain - kind of an "I'm finally home" feel when you hear it, like getting off work and putting on shoes that don't hurt. I've felt like that since I was a little kid listening to Mendocino and Mover. It's unexplainable, but it's THERE.

@@StellaWaldvogel ah you feel it too. Tellin ya, this sound is more about feel and not about vocal talent and singing technique. We feel Doug's groove, same way we get to feel about our fav pair of boots. Such feelgood never leaves us. Credit to the entire band for sounding so ace instrumentally which glosses over any shortcomings in Doug's voice which is rather more like chirping when we begin to compare him to the magnanimous sound of Tom Jones or Engelbert Humperdinck whose voices order us to listen. Doug's voice is soothing, not spectacular. Aesthetically i could pick it to pieces, might tell him to have the adnoids removed as they definitely hamper his nasal passage, dampening his vocal range. I learned about parasites and how they rule other organisms only since battling somatic Morgellons (eg nano type Leishmaniasis). Many different parasites are comprised in Lyme Glyme and Slyme. Doug S could surely have benefitted from detox and it might have extended his life even. 60 is also where i am at now. I do rave on a bit. Lol.

I really do get what you mean though.

@@mcjoliaus9739 His vocal power was seriously impressive. Problem is when you sing like that for a prolonged period of time, your voice will start to tire. Listen to any of the albums from the Mercury Masters (At the Crossroads), and he is one of the best country/rock singers ever IMO. Not a clean "technical" voice, but extremely powerful, soulful, and versatile. Perfect voice for rock that had shades of even Otis Redding.

Real music.

Texas Tornados were a super group . That tag seems to be used only for rock bands , Damn Yankees , Velvet Revolver . Tornados were a beast of a band .. Augie , Flaco , Freddy !

I swear he lowered his voice during the first chorus to allow the sound of acoustic singing to break through the dynamic. GENIUS
