Review
"Doug was like me, maybe the only figure from that period of time that I connected with. His was a big soul. He had a hit record, 'She's About a Mover,' and I had a hit record ['Like a Rolling Stone'] at the same time. So we became buddies back then" Bob Dylan

Format:Hardcover
This man was just too talented to be real. A master of so many styles - country, blues, Tex Mex, psychedelic rock, western swing - and a brilliant musician (check out his guitar on the Austin City Limits DVD), it seemed impossible that no biography existed. Then I found this on Amazon. It's well researched without getting dry and dull, full of anecdotes and quotes from Doug and trots along at a nice pace. My only gripe is that it's a little short but what the heck, you can't have everything. Great interviews with his sons and his long-time musical collaborator Augie Myers and revealing photos of Doug in his 70s heyday which I had never seen anywhere else. Worth reading if you want an insight into a huge musical talent and a founding father of the Austin country-hippy scene of the early 1970s.

Finally a Doug Book
18 Feb 2010
Format:Hardcover|Amazon Verified Purchase
Great biography of the Texas icon Doug Sahm. His whole career and life are here. He began in Texas, became part of the California music scene and went back to his Texas roots. His life is examined warts and all with a lot of imput from his son Shawn. BTW- check out Shawn's music. He has a solo career, the Tex-Mex Experience and he re-grouped the Texas Tornados with Flaco and Augie..DOUG RULES..

Sir Doug lives on
28 April 2010
Format:Hardcover|Amazon Verified Purchase
Very good overview of the life of one of America's most under appreciated rock 'n' rollers.
I'm glad his story is available, and hope this book prompts more people to give his music a listen.

Groover's Paradise
29 Mar 2010
Format:Hardcover|Amazon Verified Purchase
A very good read. If you are like me and can't get enough of Sir Doug, you'll like this book. It covers his life from the very early days to his untimely death but is quite sparse in detail about the latter stages of his career; from the Atlantic years onward. It is well written and very easy to read and includes some lovely, and rare, photos. While the definitive biography on Doug has yet to be written, this will do until then.
