Doug and Augie should be in the rock and roll hall of fame.

I'm almost 70 years old, and I grew up in San Antonio. One of my favorite memories was spinning around with my kids in our front yard as we listened to Doug Sahm. He wasn't only a Texas musician, he was part of the joy of being a Texan.

Thanks for your Tribute to the Great Doug Sahm. I first heard him in, around, 1968, with the album Mendocino. Beautiful stuff that matched my musical heroes Traffic, Procol Harum and the Beatles. Sir Doug was all the way up there. Shortly after that I bought a few more of the Quintet's albums for $2.99. Man those songs on the later albums. Song of Everything ! Be Real ! In the Dark! Pretty Flower! I saw him a few times in New York City with the Tornadoes at The Lone Star Cafe. Genius. Right to the Heart. Cheers

I’ve been a Doug Sahm fan for a long time. I’am not from Texas, I’am from the mid-west, but I remember him coming through and playing at our bowling alley (It was a big place) years ago. At the time, I was into rock and he sounded a little too country for me but did see that he was a talented guy. Over the years I don’t thing he’s gotten the recognition he deserves. Reading the reviews here someone called Doug a “Cosmic Cowboy,” he was that, for sure. I kind of think of him as the Dylan from the south because, like Dylan, he was so talented that he could adapt to the music that was popular at the time and, on top of that, I really liked his voice.

Doug had a presence and so much charisma!

Interesting to hear this! I´m a Swedish fan of Doug Sahm and the Texas Tornados. I was a friend of a Swedish countrysinger, Red Jenkins who sadly passed away last year. Red and his wife Gunilla, who worked for Sonet recording company, knew Doug very well, and when Doug was in Sweden he stayed sometimes in Reds apartment in Stockholm. They told me a lot of stories about Doug, which was fun to hear. I really miss them both,,,,

I too am from San Antonio and I remember listening to his music on the radio when I was a young boy in the early seventies!

man, I didn't even know who they were when they did the 'AUSTIN CITY LIMITS'. I probably just got out of high school. I loved rock/blues, and 50's stuff. when he does the ELVIS/Freddie Fender ,etc. medley, that's priceless. I taped it in the primitive '70's way w/ a hand held mic on a tape recorder. sort of lay the wire over the top of the TV 'til it's next to the volume speaker .had the TV on not so loud, so the play back wouldn't be blaring , and I could turn it up from there, sounding decent loud. a mono-concert. if I'd a known KZread would come along, I'd have dug the future, probably not tape stuff, all of which is now here on YT. damn, shows I was at, are here.

He was a brilliant muscician & a really cool cat.

Funny he mentioned he was betw😢 Willie Nelson and The Grateful Dead, meaning he was all over the place musically. The Grateful Dead themselves were all over the place combining rock, country, jazz, funk etc.

At the same time he was in an absolute power group called Rockpile with Dave Edmunds and Dire Straits drummer. His best work though was after reinventing himself as an older man with the album Impossible Bird being the start of a trilogy of similar albums. The KZread video about the writing of a song called “the beast in me” covered by Jonny Cash is as funny as it gets.
