Great biography of the Texas icon Doug Sahm. His whole career and life are here. He began in Texas, became part of the California music scene and went back to his Texas roots. His life is examined warts and all with a lot of imput from his son Shawn. BTW- check out Shawn’s music. He has a solo career, the Tex-Mex Experience and he re-grouped the Texas Tornados with Flaco and Augie..DOUG RULES..

Enjoyed the book, filled in a lot of info I did not know. I remember seeing little kids at Soap Creek and to find out they were Charlie Sexton, Shawn Sahm and others I listen to today was heart warming. Doug lived in Groovers Paradise.
