The late great Doug Sahm was born in San Antonio, Texas. He was a child prodigy in country music but became a significant figure in roots rock and other genres as well. Sahm is considered one of the most important figures in what is identified as Tex-Mex music. Proficient on multiple instruments, he was the founder and leader of the 1960s rock and roll band, the Sir Douglas Quintet. He would later co-found the Texas Tornados with Augie Meyers, Freddy Fender, and Flaco JimÃ©nez as well as Los Super Seven. This two CD set features music from Sahm's heyday solo years. Disc one is a live show originally broadcast by KUT in Austin Texas in 1973 and the second disc is a Tex-Mex set recorded at The Liberty Hall in Houston in 1974.
