Mendocino

This is the Sir Douglas Quintet from the late 60s, featuring the late Doug Sahm and Augie Meyers. If this sound seems familiar, it may be because you've heard Sahm and Meyers 25 years later in the incarnation they called Texas Tornados with Freddie Fender and squeezebox great Flaco Jimenez.

Doug Sahm was only 58 when he died of a heart attack while vacationing in Taos, New Mexico. Sahm was a prodigy on most stringed instruments, and even played with Hank Williams weeks before Mr. Williams checked out.
