Doug Sahm: Doug Sahm and Band (Atlantic)
Danny Holloway, NME, 10 February 1973
DESPITE WHAT some people may say to the contrary, the most significant thing about it is NOT the fact that Bob Dylan crops up for a rare appearance. As the title suggests, Doug Sahm's guests (Dylan, Dr. John, David Bromberg and Fathead Newman included) predominantly play the role of a supporting band as Doug steps forward to sing and play a few select tunes.
