Sahm Enchanted Evening: Sir Douglas Quintet at London’s Mean Fiddler
Cynthia Rose, New Musical Express, 1985
THE LONG Ryders, Lone Justice, Blasters and the rest? Forget em! Sir Doug has returned to show these punks how good "rock and roll from another era" (his quote) can sound! He can leave them all standing. Remember this is the guy who was working with Flaco Jimenez three years before Cooder, and was having hits back in the 60s.
