The legendary Tex-Mex singer Doug Sahm became a hero in Scandinavia and the Sir Douglas Quintet had huge success there both on records and live. One of Doug's big fans was Lennart Persson, by many considered Sweden's most influential rock critic. Lennart passed away a few years ago but he left a note with his personal selection of all-time hits featuring Doug Sahm and the Swedish San Antonio label decided to release this CD of the original recordings.

Excellent compilation of the"Swedish years", 1980-85
A further compilation of Sir Douglas Quintet/Doug Sahm tracks from his Swedish Sonet label releases in the 80's. (Shares only two tracks with the 2008 "Scandinavian Years" compilation). A real bonus is the very rare "Will You Still Love Me Tomorrow" with Flaco Jimenez. Excellent liner notes by Mats Ollson tell the story of Sahm's move to Sweden, subsequent success and other stories including Springteen's attempts to meet him. This CD is actually the track listing from a cassette compiled by Lennert Persson of Sahms "best stuff from the Eighties", and handed out to those he thought would be interested. It contains all the styles Sahm played, Rock, Rhythm & Blues, Country, and Tex-Mex. This is the first time on CD for most of these songs so it makes for a very enjoyable album, both for old fans who tracked down these somewhat rare vinyl albums and new fans just discovering Doug Sahm.Tracks are:Golly GeeAnymore [Tribute to Johnny Ace]Who Were You Thinking Of?Will You Still Love Me MañanaDown to Saying GoodbyeGot It Bad for YouJust a DreamCan't Fake It I Keep Wishing for YouWicked, Wicked WomanThe Things I Used to DoTeardrops on Your LetterWalking SlowlyAdios MexicoI'll Take Care of YouEvery Breath You TakeAin't into Letting You GoCrazy Crazy BabyThis Time TejanoSleep Walk
