Doug Sahm - Live From Austin, TX (2007)

Augie Meyer who was Sahm's main sideman beginning with The Sir Douglas Quintet in the 60s is on board as usual, playing his Hammond B-3 organ. Meyer contributes most of the best moments on songs that Sahm made famous with the quintet including "Nuevo Laredo," "Rains Came," "Mendocino," and "She's About A Mover."
This is a typical Sahm performance because everyone, especially the leader, is having a great time playing the hits, traditional fiddle tunes such as a romping version of "Cotton-Eyed Joe," and covers of T-Bone Walker and Texas swing giant Bob Wills.
As always, Sahm and his band are in a relaxed groove as they boogie through the evening. If you are a Sahm fan, like I am, this disc will fulfill your wish for a good time.
