They looked sort of English, but...

As soon as Doug Sahm -- Texan through and through -- opened his mouth to sing, you knew the SIR DOUGLAS QUINTET was waaay more Lone Star than Union Jack.
I listened to the Sir Douglas Quintet while driving around today.
Most people might remember "She's About a Mover," the band's 1965 garage-rock classic featuring the great organ work of Augie Meyers.
Others probably recall the beautiful "Mendocino," which the band released after they relocated to San Francisco.
There are actually loads of great songs by the Sir Douglas Quintet, and I might listen to them some more tomorrow, just so I can experience more of the band's magic.
