Sir Douglas Quintet - The Best Of Sir Douglas Quintet (Bonus Track) (2017)

This release is a 2017 CD reissue from the Japanese label Oldays Records. It is based on the Sir Douglas Quintet's 1966 debut album, which was originally also titled "The Best of Sir Douglas Quintet" as it compiled their early hits and singles. This edition is expanded with bonus tracks, including b-sides and other rare recordings from the same period. Musically, the album is the quintessence of the band's unique sound: a groundbreaking mix of Texan music (Tex-Mex), British Invasion-influenced garage rock, rhythm & blues, and country. Key elements include the distinctive vocals of frontman Doug Sahm and the characteristic, pulsating sound of Augie Meyers' Vox Continental organ. The album features the band's major hits like "She's About a Mover" and "The Rains Came".
