| | Sir Douglas Quintet - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | The Sir Douglas Quintet is considered a pioneering influence in the history of rock and roll for incorporating Tex-Mex and Cajun styles into rock music. | | | Early influences on the band's emerging Texas style included ethnic and pop music from the 1950s and 1960s, such as doo-wop, electric blues, soul music, and British Invasion. | | | In 1973 several Sir Douglas Quintet outtakes were released in their final album from the group's classic era, Rough Edges. |

| | CMT.com : The Sir Douglas Quintet : Biography |
| | With almost all of their original members, the Sir Douglas Quintet recorded one of their finest albums, 1969's Mendocino; the title track became a Top 40 hit and a Tex-Mex rock staple and the whole record fit in very well with the emerging country-rock hybrid. | | | Their first album, Sir Douglas Quintet + 2 = Honkey Blues, was recorded with several extra horn players as the Sir Douglas Quintet + 2 and released in 1968; however, it lacked Augie Meyers' signature organ sound. | | | This was the last new Quintet album for some time, until Sahm, Meyers, and Perez re-formed the group at the dawn of the '80s, along with new guitarist Alvin Crow and new bassist Speedy Sparks. |

| | Sir Douglas Quintet, 1+1+1=4/The Return of Doug Salda-a |
| | These two albums from 1970 and 1971, re-released as a single CD by the Australian Raven label, show Sahm and his group in transition. | | | His music was taking a decided psychedelic bent (and he may have had the law on his trail as well), so he and the band moved to what at the time was a more natural environment: the San Francisco Bay Area. | | | The band had two charting singles, the Texas-garage-rock-meets-British-Invasion pastiche "She's About a Mover" and the psychedelic-folk "Mendocino." But the Quintet's and Sahm's influence on American roots rock goes far beyond the limited reach of those two songs. |

| | ALthough I havent listened to Sir Doug lately, I own most SDQ vinyl and many CDs and they were in my usual listening rotation. | | | I also caught the SDQ just a bit later at the Catalyst in Santa Cruz...at one point I went back to the dressing room and the band had departed for the stage. | | | When she asked about the music and the concerts, I said, "Imagine a concert where being in the audience is like being at a backstage party with the band... |

| | Both albums are a double-barreled loving tribute to the scintillating vocal style and songwriting talent of the late Doug Sahm. | | | The Best Of The Sir Douglas Quintet — the ultra-rare original album, with two bonus tracks — features the soulful vocals of Doug Sahm and the signature keyboards of Augie Meyers. | | | , a 14-track sister compilation — stuffed with singles, B-sides and vintage unissued '65-'66 material, is the Sir Douglas Quintet album that never was. |

| | For "Mover," try Sundazed's "Best of the Sir Douglas Quintet," which I think is pretty much a straight reissue of the Quintet's original Tribe album from '66 or so, but which otherwise ain't all that great. | | | I think that verson was also on a single disc CD best of the Mercury era on the Takoma label, but it may be out of print. | | | Sundazed also put together a second Quintet CD, which collects some of the group's other Tribe material.) Better yet, "Mover" is on the "Nuggets" box set, which has tons of other interesting stuff by a variety of artists. |

| | Doug Sahm and the Sir Douglas Quintet: A Brief History |
| | Meaux gave them an English sounding name, the Sir Douglas Quintet and, in 1965, scored an international hit with "She's About A Mover," an infectious blend of Texas pop and the Beatles' "She's A Woman." The song was recorded on January, 14, 1965, and proved to be their all-time biggest hit. | | | As a joke, Sahm once told Ward that they were from Lebanon and this misstatement of fact was repeated by John Lomax III in the liner notes to 1998 CD The Crazy Cajun Recordings, as well as in The Guiness Encyclopedia of Popular Music, among other places. | | | Sahm's last album of original material, The Return of Wayne Douglas, was released posthumously in late 2000. |

| | This Audio CD Music item from Acadia Records was reviewed on 7-Apr-2006. | | | The original record was short even by late 1960s standards, so the reissue thoughtfully includes three bonus tracks from the long out-of-print "Rough Edges" album. | | | God bless the folks who decided to issue this album and the other original Mercury/Smash records for Sir Douglas. |

| | Rockzilla.net Sir Douglas Quintet "1+1+1=4/The Return of Doug Saldana" by Steve Cooper |
| | The two Sir Doug albums on this import CD (one with the "quintet," one with only some of the "quintet") find the original long-haired redneck star at the very top of his game. | | | Doug is ace on the slurred vocal: "Herrealname-a, herrealname-a, herrealname-a Linda Lou-ou!" Sir Doug takes the rockabilly song and pushes it through T-Bone Walker land. | | | If there is a funkier guitar riff in the annals of Texas music than "Catch the Man on the Rise," I'm not aware of it. |

| | The Complete Mercury Masters |
| | One of life’s great mysteries is how Doug Sahm isn’t in the Rock and Roll Hall Of Fame, since his music has inspired two generations of musicians, and he can rightly lay claim to being the Godfather of the Austin music scene. | | | This box set covers six albums, all the mono singles, Spanish-language recordings and a number of Doug’s productions on which his band appears. | | | Anthologized heavily throughout the years, Sir Doug’s music from the Mercury/Smash era has never before been collected systematically and presented so handsomely. |

| | Attempting to ape The Beatles, the Sir Douglas Quintet came off more like a gritty amalgam of every strain of music that drifted through the airwaves of Texas. | | | Sir Douglas Quintet: Doug Sahm (vocals, guitar); Frank Morin (saxophone, percussion); Augie Meyers (organ); Jack Barber (bass guitar); Johnny Perez (drums). | | | Leader Doug Sahm had wide-ranging musical tastes but he attached himself to every performance with such pure and utter confidence that the tendency to label his music falls away as its wonderful wholeness becomes apparent. |

| | The term Tex-Mex is also used in American rock and roll for Tejano-influenced performers such as the Sir Douglas Quintet, Sam the Sham and the Pharoahs, Louie and the Lovers, The Champs with "Tequila", and the Texas Tornados, featuring Flaco Jimenez, Freddy Fender, Augie Meyer, and Doug Sahm. | | | At the turn of the 21st century, today's Tejano music, while far more pop-oriented than in its Depression era roots, is one of the most vital regional musical styles in the United States. | | | Texan accordion music has influenced Basque trikitixa players. |
