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).

Chet Baker, Albert’s House, 1969 on Beverly Hills

One of Baker’s releases following getting his teeth (allegedly) knocked out (see Born to Be Blue) – eleven songs composed by Steve Allen. Gets some pretty negative reviews – I’d agree it isn’t Baker at his prime, but I’m closer to the Rolling Stone Jazz Record Guide which gives is three out of five stars than to Allmusic who gave it one.

He’s joined by Paul Smith (piano, organ), Barney Kessel (guitar), Jim Hughart (bass), and Frank Capp (drums).

My copy is a 2021 reissue on Liberation Hall that was part of Record Store Day (“RSD First”) in November 2021, via Joe’s Albums in Worcester MA
