3.0 out of 5 stars
Sir Douglas is fantastic, but buyer beware--, January 7, 2011
This review is from: He's About a Groover: An Essential Collection (Audio CD)
I love Sir Douglas Quintet, and the late Doug Sahm is a legend. And while this complilation has a lot of great music, buyers looking for original versions of the songs should look elsewhere. As a relatively new listener to this great band, it took me awhile to realize I was not hearing the original versions of "She's About A Mover" and others, and "Mendocino", and several others are live recordings, not noted on the outer sleeve. Not saying the music's not great, but even the liner notes inside seem to be discussing a different complilation, with different songs and running order mentioned. All in all, Sir Doug deserved better.
