Doug Sahm: Groovers Paradise
Michael Gray, Let It Rock, December 1974
DOUG SAHM'S LAST album, Doug Sahm And Band on Atlantic Records, was one of the very finest bits of squashed vinyl of 1973. Sahm's band of the time was a joy to hear live, and, supplemented by Dr. John, Bob Dylan and others, the transition to the studios was painless.
