CD Reviews

Tex mex supreme
Frank M. Mckinney | Va | 10/29/2003
(5 out of 5 stars)

"I love the fact that Doug's producers wanted to name them the Sir Douglas Quintet so they would sound like an English group (the Beatles were hot then). This is about as far away from 60's pop-rock as you can get! Best Doug album ever and I've heard them all. Finally available on cd,thank you, thank you, my old record is sounding pretty bad from repeated plays over 25 years. Mendocino and She's About a Mover were the hits, but Texas Me, Crossroads, Wanna Be Your Mama (I could go on & on) are the real stars here. Thanks, Doug. We miss you"
The Bomb

"This is probably the best Tex/Mex album ever made. Everyone I have played this for has become an instant fan. There was nothing like the Sir Douglas Quintet in the sixties. They were truly one of a kind. As a person who grew up around Mexican music I think that this was the logical next step. ... this might be the best album ever made period."
An Absolute Classic

"I remember the single, "Mendocino" when I was a hippie kid in the NY suburbs. I later moved to Austin and lived with this LP, every day. Now I have the CD. It is as soulful and buoyant and introspective and joyful as I recalled. It is not psychedelic - though it could be, I guess. Sir Doug was seminal to the revival and appreciation of Texas music in the 70s and this the precursor to and, maybe the best - certainly, the purest - manifestation of his vast body of work. We will miss him, but we have this recording to carry us through."
