Listening to #SirDouglasQuintet . . . thinking 'bout #AugieMeyers . . . drifting downstream . . .

Texas music legend Augie Meyers has died. In the 60s Meyers was a co-founder with Doug Sahm of the Sir Douglas Quintet. In the 90s he formed the Texas Tornadoes with Sahm, Freddy Fender and Flaco Jiménez. Meyers was 85.

Sir Douglas Quintet, Texas Tornado Live, 2023 on Liberation Hall

Recorded Sept 1971 at the Troubadour in LA, but released in 2023 as part of Record Store Day. The Sir Douglas Quintet, led by Doug Sahm, out of San Antonio TX via San Francisco CA.

Great collection including probably their best known song “She’s About a Mover” and “Dynamite Woman.”

My copy via a private sale – from Precision Record Pressing (I assume there was only one pressing of this version).
