Doug took his Tex Mex mix into music history, fronting the Sir Douglas Quintet, recording with Bob Dylan, jamming with the Dead, and creating the Texas Tornados. Doug’s been musically important ever since he played on stage- -at age eleven--with Hank Williams. In 1999, Doug made the most personal musical statement of his wildly diverse career, this time going back to the country. Now, here’s that album, his last musical statement, finally available on glorious vinyl.

Sir Douglas Quintet
Sir Douglas Quintet The Sir Douglas Quintet: Emerging from San Antonio‟s “West Side Sound,” The Sir Douglas Quintet blended rhythm and blues, country, rock, pop, and conjunto to create a unique musical concoction that gained international popularity in the 1960s and 1970s. From 1964 to 1972, the band recorded five albums in California and Texas, and, although its founder, Doug Sahm, released two additional albums under the same group name in the 1980s and 1990s, the Quintet never enjoyed the same domestic success as it had during the late 1960s. A big part of the Sir Douglas Quintet‟s distinctive sound derived from the unique musical environment in which its members were raised in San Antonio. During the 1950s and 1960s, the “moderate racial climate” and ethnically diverse culture of San Antonio—caused in part by the several desegregated military bases and the large Mexican-American population there—allowed for an eclectic cross- pollination of musical styles that reached across racial and class lines. As a result, Sahm and his musical friends helped create what came to be known as the “West Side Sound,” a dynamic blending of blues, rock, pop, country, conjunto, polka, R&B, and other regional and ethnic musical styles into a truly unique musical amalgamation. San Antonio-based artists, such as Augie Meyers, Doug Sahm, Flaco Jiménez, and Sunny Ozuna, would help to propel this sound onto the international stage. Born November 6, 1941, Douglas Wayne Sahm grew up on the predominately-black east side of San Antonio. As a child, he became proficient on a number of musical instruments and even turned down a spot on the Grand Ole Opry (while still in junior high school) in order to finish his education.

Biography: Doug Sahm
BIOGRAPHY: DOUG SAHM THE ORIGINAL COSMIC COWBOY Doug Sahm was a wildly creative artist best known for his pop-rock music, but for a time in the 1970s in Austin, he became the role model for a group of Outlaw country artists that included Willie Nelson. “Doug was the organizer of what blew up into the Austin music scene,” said Joe Nick Patoski, who directed a 2015 documentary on Sahm. “ . Doug made Willie possible in so many ways.” Born on November 6, 1941, in San Antonio, Texas, Sahm was performing country music on the radio by age five and playing fiddle, steel guitar, and mandolin by age eight. By his teens, he had performed on stages as “Little Doug” with country “Willie wanted that rock & roll crowd, and Doug legends Hank Thompson, Hank Williams, and had them,” recalled Speedy Sparks, who played Faron Young. Still, his musical tastes stretched to in the Sir Douglas Quintet. “Willie would come include blues and rock & roll. out and watch Doug and figure out what Sahm left country behind for rock in the 1950s, Doug was doing.” and after high school he built a regional career Both Sahm and Nelson signed to record albums as a performing and recording artist.

Mellard: Home with the Armadillo Home with the Armadillo: Public Memory and Performance in the 1970s Austin Music Scene Jason Dean Mellard 8 Produced by The Berkeley Electronic Press, 2010 1 Greezy Wheels performing at the Armadillo World Headquarters. Photo courtesy of the South Austin Popular Culture Center. Journal of Texas Music History, Vol. 10 [2010], Iss. 1, Art. 3 “I wanna go home with the Armadillo Good country music from Amarillo and Abilene The friendliest people and the prettiest women You’ve ever seen.” These lyrics from Gary P. Nunn’s “London Homesick Blues” adorn the wall above the exit from the Austin Bergstrom International Airport baggage claim. For years, they also played as the theme to the award-winning PBS series Austin City Limits. In short, they have served in more than one instance as an advertisement for the city’s sense of self, the face that Austin, Texas, presents to visitors and national audiences. The quoted words refer, if obliquely, to a moment in 9 the 1970s when the city first began fashioning itself as a key American site of musical production, one invested with a combination of talent and tradition and tolerance that would make of it the self-proclaimed “Live Music Capital of the World.”1 In many ways, the venue of the Armadillo World Headquarters served as ground zero for these developments, and it is often remembered as a primary site for the decade’s supposed melding of Anglo-Texan traditions and countercultural lifestyles.2 This strand of public memory reveres the Armadillo as a place in which
