Incredibly little out of print album here. Recorded live about a year before Doug Sahm's, we find him with his trusty sidekick Augie Meyers & backed by none other than The Gourds back when they were fairly unknown. The Gourds are Sahm disciples, so they fit in perfect as his backing band. So much so that I wouldn't have known it was the Gourds had it not been on the cover. Uncle Tupelo fans might recognize one of the songs on here....that's right "Give Back The Key To My Heart" which Doug wrote & recorded in the mid 70's and sang backup on Uncle Tupelo's version.MP3

i have the album with a similar cover, but i've never seen this. i have tons of doug sahm, so i can appreciate this one, thanks.
ReplyDeleteJust saw this and I'm downloading now. Thanks ALOT! I'm hoping "Crossroads" (Sahms' song, that is) is on this. I had an okay-sounding boot with it and I always have loved the way The Gourds covered that tune.
ReplyDeletethanks guys. Sadly vaughn, no crossroads on this (that's my favorite Sahm song as well)
