More Than We Deserve (And It's About Time!), June 11, 2003
This review is from: 1+1+1=4: Return of Doug Saldana (Audio CD)
Doug Sahm (along with Tim Hardin, Fred Neil, Tim Buckley & others) was a spot-on National Treasure who was mostly ignored/misunderstood/underappreciated by record companies & the record-buying public. That we finally have Doug's "Sir Doug's" back in the CD bins is something of a minor miracle - these GREAT collections of Doug's sublime musicmaking should be on the radio day & night (and won't make a dent on the playlists because NO-ONE in radio - even oldies radio - cares about music - only playing the same crud that is safe, safe, safe). But Doug put these records out anyway - real music, full of the joy of writing & singing & playing. Give a listen to "Be Real" - you won't be able to resist grabbing your sweetie & giving her a turn around the dance floor. (Oh, and those horns on "Pretty Flower"!)
By the way - I would have bought both of these albums if they were sold separately - how sweet a deal!!
