The Sir Douglas Quintet

The Sir Douglas Quintet was an American rock band, formed in San Antonio in 1964.[1] With their first hits, they were acclaimed in their home state. However, once their career was established (subsequent to working with Texas record-producer Huey Meaux), the band relocated to the West Coast. Their move coincided with the burgeoning San Francisco psychedelic rock scene of the mid 1960s to early 1970s.[2] Overall, the quintet were exponents of good-times music with strong roots in blues and Texas-regional traditions.
Member Doug Sahm had performed with Hank Williams. John York went on to play for The Byrds.
For awhile the group sported Beatle-cuts onstage.
Covered Bobby "Blue" Bland and T-Bone Walker. Also covered Jimmie Rodgers In the Jailhouse Now.
