Free Music Notes for Doug Sahm and the Sir Douglas Quintet (The Complete Mercury Recordings)
Free Music Review: Proof positive Doug Sahm and his band were one of the best America ever produced!
Hit: 4 Stars
I love Doug Sahm's music, and I've written glowing reviews on Amazon for every Doug Sahm disc I own. He is one of my favorite artists of all time, and certainly the one guy whose music I try to introduce friends to. This set isn't cheap, but you get all of the SDQ Mercury recordings, including the rarities collection "Rough Edges." The music here is a mix of Tex-Mex, garage rock, country, and proto country-rock - in other words great American roots music. Sahm and his co-horts were unlike any other band; the world is a sadder place because he's gone, but thankfully this great music is back in print for many to discover and enjoy.
There's too many highlights to mention, but here a few: "Mendocino," "Dynamite Woman," "It Didin't Even Bring Me Down," "Me and My Destiny," and a lot more. If you aren't locked into one style of music, then the SDQ could become one of your favorites. They could certainly play everything and play it well.
I started to give this five stars, but didn't because Mercury put "Dynamite Woman" and its flip "Too Many Dociled Minds" on the set not once, not twice, but three times! It appears once on the first disc because the single came out around the time of Mendocino, second time on the "Rough Edges" disc where it actually came out on LP, and finally on the Mono mix disc (which is really a waste; the mixes are, as the other reviewer said, rather flat).
The packaging is well done, but the discs have that standard FBI warning labeled too prominently on them for my taste. I paid a lot for these discs; I think Mercury could put the warning somewhere in the booklet or in smaller type. It detracts from the otherwise nice package.
The music rates five stars easily because the gems outweigh the filler, but the redundancy factor is something I can't overlook. If you've never heard Doug Sahm, buy the 68-75 Best Of. If you like it, then buy this! It's truly great American music.
Doug Sahm and the Sir Douglas Quintet (The Complete Mercury Recordings) Poster
Everybody who knew Doug Sahm liked him, and everyone who didnt know him, but knew his work, respected him. He was manic, he was a larger-than-life character, and his passion for music was exceeded only if at all by his passion for baseball. Its the former with which we concern ourselves here, as we follow the Sir Douglas Quintet in various configurations through what critics generally regard as Sahms fertile early period (he would later go on to form the Texas Tornados, among other things). The Sir Douglas Quintet was supposed to capitalize on the British Invasion, but it would take an advanced case of astigmatism to think the band had roots in the UK. And with a couple of cosmetic exceptions, their music was firmly linked to America (in the broadest sense). For Doug and his band, virtually any genre was up for grabs rock, blues, soul, country, psychedelic, norte?o, polka, whatever. They played it all, and they played it proficiently. One of lifes great mysteries is how Doug Sahm isnt in the Rock & Roll Hall Of Fame, since his music has inspired two generations of musicians, and he can rightly lay claim to being the Godfather of the Austin music scene. Anthologized heavily throughout the years, Sir Dougs music from the Mercury/Smash era has never before been collected systematically and presented so handsomely. This box set covers six albums, all the mono singles, Spanish-language recordings and a number of Dougs productions on which his band appears. The box was conceived and executed by Grammy?-winning producer Bill Levenson, and it was remastered in 2004 from the original master tapes. It includes liner notes by critic Scott Schinder and rare photos of Doug and the band. No single package could contain all the vibrancy and vision Doug Sahm possessed, but this particular set is celebratory for those who lived through the ear and revelatory for those who didnt.Country Music CDs
