DOUG SAHM "SAN ANTONIO ROCK" - The Harlem Recordings 1957-1961 2000

"... Enjoyable, upbeat, teen-inspired, and sax-laden... The best moments are Sahm's vocals on swamp-poppish ballads..." - Living Blues (5-6/01, p.96)By the time the Sir Douglas Quintet tore up the charts in 1965 with She's About A Mover, main mover Doug Sahm-- the late, great Doug Sahm-- had already logged a ten year career on the lively bandstands of San Antonio, Texas.
SAN ANTONIO ROCK represents Sahm's first rock n' roll recordings, culled from the vaults of the local Harlem, Warrior and Satin labels, and includes the 1960 local hit Why Why Why.
This long awaited pre-Quintet definitive 1957-61 roundup (featuring all of Doug's early 45's and demos, as well as rare sides with Sahm as a sideman) represents an overlooked and vital chapter in the truly illustrious career of one of the key figures in Texas music. - from: http://www.klangundkleid.ch/
