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).

The Best Of The Sir Douglas Quintet by The Sir Douglas Quintet, released on Tribe in 1966.

The Best of the Sir Douglas Quintet [Tribe] Review by Richie Unterberger

... it does include their only two mid-'60s hits, "She's About a Mover" and the equally fine, but unjustly obscure, "The Rains Came." There's plenty else to sink your teeth into as well: a moody Animals-like cover of the ancient folk song "It Was in the Pines," the heartbreaking swamp-pop of "Beginning of the End," the peppy Cajun two-step rock of "Please Just Say So," and the Rolling Stones-like "It's a Man Down There." ...the group's blend of British Invasion, blues, country, soul, and Cajun music was unique in its time, and Doug Sahm was already proving himself to be one of the most versatile and soulful white rock singers.
