Album Notes & Community Reviews

Relocating from Texas to San Francisco, Doug Sahm expanded his group's lineup with a robust horn section to dive deeply into rhythm and blues[cite: 1]. 'Sir Douglas Quintet + 2 = Honkey Blues' minimizes their signature Tex-Mex organ sound in favor of loose, jam-heavy psychedelic soul and jazz-rock[cite: 1]. The album captures the band absorbing the improvisational, cross-genre spirit of the Bay Area counterculture[cite: 1].
