Editorial Reviews

Product Description

Hook Tex-Mex music legend Doug Sahm up with the CCR rhythm section of Doug Clifford and Stu Cook and Creedence producer Russ Gary, and what do ya get? Probably the most coherent and poppiest record of his career (Doug did tend to ramble), one emblazoned with the unique artwork of local Austin artist Kerry Fitzgerald a.k.a. Kerry Awn and also featuring future Asleep at the Wheel member Link Davis, Jr. on various instruments. We’ve added new notes by Colin Escott that place this 1974 release in its proper (warped) perspective; it’s a favorite of many a Sahm devotee, now finally on CD.

5.0 out of 5 stars Quick Service, September 21, 2005
By Robert H. Thomson (Kenmore, NY USA) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Early Doug Sahm is aways welcome. I finally fiured out why he never became a bigger name, he was all over the place in his music selection, there are times you have to be in a niche. We miss you Doug

5.0 out of 5 stars Vintage Doug Sahm, December 5, 2006
Texas legend Doug Sahm and his crew had a pretty good time playing some funky blues-soul grooves and mixing a little roots and twang in around the edges. He's joined here by fiddler Link Davis. Jr., as well as drummer-producer Doug Clifford and bassist Stu Cook, both of the late, great swamp-garage band, Creedence Clearwater Revival... Good, funky, boogie-rock blues from the early '70s... Groovy, indeed!

5.0 out of 5 stars Great for listening or jumping, January 28, 2008
By Richard T. Waddell (Southern California, USA) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Length:: 3:09 Mins

I love everything about Doug Sahm and The Sir Douglas Quintet; but being from Arkansas, my taste does not run as strongly toward what you would hear in Gilley's day-in and day-out hour after hour, the boots, the boots, they stomp and stomp...

'Groover's Paradise', however, is one of my all time favorite albums.

I have the original lp and I still find details on the cover that I've forgotten. The cover art by Kerry Awn (http://kerryawn.com/) is pure 'Underground Comix' - Comix: The Underground Revolution that us boomer kids (who didn't and haven't sold our souls) still love. It brings back the seventies with a rush.

'Groover's Paradise', 'Devil Heart', and 'Just Groove Me' have been favorites of mine since I first heard them in the 70's, followed closely by 'For the Sake of Rock N Roll!'

'Houston Chicks' and 'Girls Today' are nice to listen to and very nostalgic if you're my age.

'Beautiful Texas Sunshine' is too sweet and syrupy for my taste. 'La Cacahuata' is Mexican Polka, which I don't care for, 'Her Dream Man Never Came' is neither here nor there.

'Catch Me in the Morning' is nice until the refrain jumps me up and makes me start line-dancing and goose-stepping at the same time (glioosen-dansen?) - very bizzare.

Warning - opinions may not apply in State of Texas or in the mind of any Texan. Check local zeitgeist under 'Arkansan/Reveres-Southwest-Conference=true/Zydeco=false/Migrated/40-50-years/California'.

If you want to see more free samples of JumpRock to hundreds of songs, go to my profile and click on 'my website', then Get up Offa That Thing and dance if you can do better.

The word groove appears twice in in song titles..."Just Groove Me" and "Groover's Paradise," so you know what you're getting into with this disc. Read more
