Doug Sahm & Band
Expect Doug's usual blend of every American musical style under the sun on this record, which featured a fairly amazing supporting band. And that band included Bob Dylan, who not only shares vocals on three tunes but contributes a song (`Wallflower') that was yet to appear on any of his albums! Indeed, this album had a lot going for it; joining Dylan were Dr. John, David "Fathead" Newman, long-time Sahm stalwart Augie Meyers, David Bromberg and future Texas Tornado Flaco Jimenez, and the artwork by Gilbert Shelton of Fabulous Furry Freak Brothers fame was, well, fabulous! Yet, this album only reached #125 on the 1972 charts; perhaps America wasn't quite ready for Doug's twisted Texas vision of roots rock. Tracks: `(Is Anybody Going to) San Antone'; `It's Gonna Be Easy'; `Your Friends'; `Poison Love'; `Wallflower'; `Dealer's Blues'; `Faded Love'; `Blues Stay Away from Me'; `Papa Ain't Salty'; `Me and Paul'; `Don't Turn Around', and `I Get Off'.
