Tribute to Legendary Troubadour Doug Sahm on Vinyl LP!

TAS Rated 4/5 Music, 3/5 Sonics in the October 2023 Issue of The Absolute Sound!

Son Volt's latest record, Day of the Doug, revisits the music of legendary Texas troubadour Doug Sahm. But it's much more than fond remembrance and colorful tribute. It is a summoning and a celebration of a songwriter and performer whose work forged country, Tex-Mex, rock, rhythm and blues, folk, and psychedelia into an utterly unique American sound.

Sahm's 50-year career was a restless and relentless quest for the Holy Grail of "the groove." He played pedal steel with Hank Williams, Sr. as a kid before making three Top 40 hits with the Sir Douglas Quintet and recording a dizzying array of solo works with a passel of shifting personas on a carousel of record labels. Son Volt's eleventh release since 1995's Trace steps confidently on the trails Sahm blazed. Like any journey to find a grail, Day of the Doug also seeks out all the things that make young artists fall in love with making music in the first place: adventure, youth, novelty, and a chance to snatch a bit of immortality.

Son Volt brings their trademark cowpunk crunch and an infectious energy. I associate [Jay] Farrar's voice with his own highly literate writing, but he even got me enjoying lyrically weaker songs like 'Dynamite Woman.' The conjunto bounce of 'Poison Love' sounds authentic, and Son Volt's new guitarist, John Horton (Bottle Rockets), delivers some fluid solos. 'Beautiful Texas Sunshine' indeed.
-Stephen Estep, The Absolute Sound, October 2023, Music 4/5, Sonics 3/5
