Our Take

Hell Of A Spell:

With a name like Doug Sahm & The Sir Douglas Quintet, you know you're in for a wild ride. "Hell Of A Spell" is a perfect mashup of Tex-Mex rock, blues, country, and even a touch of surf rock thrown in for good measure. From the infectious grooves of "Mendocino" to the soulful balladry of "Catch Me In The Morning," this album is a non-stop party from start to finish. Sahm's distinctive vocals and the Quintet's tight musicianship make for a truly unique listening experience. Trust us, you won't be able to sit still while this record is spinning. 9.0/10

Nuevo Wave Live:

If you're looking for a live album that captures all the energy and excitement of a Sir Douglas Quintet concert, look no further than "Nuevo Wave Live." Recorded during a blistering set in Texas, this album is a high-octane thrill ride from beginning to end. From the rollicking opener "Who Were You Thinking Of?" to the funky closer "Bacon Fat," Sahm and his bandmates bring the house down with their infectious blend of rock, blues, and Tex-Mex influences. The energy is palpable, the musicianship is top-notch, and the crowd is on fire. This is a live album that truly captures the magic of a band firing on all cylinders. Do yourself a favor and crank this one up to 11. 8.5/10

Texas Heroin:

Doug Sahm & The Sir Douglas Quintet take a walk on the wild side with "Texas Heroin," a gritty and raw collection of songs that delve into the darker side of life in the Lone Star State. From the haunting title track to the rollicking "Texas Me," Sahm explores themes of addiction, heartbreak, and redemption with his trademark wit and wisdom. The music is stripped-down and raw,
