SON VOLT – DAY OF THE DOUG LP

Son Volt – Day Of The Doug (The Songs Of Doug Sahm)

Son Volt's latest album, "Day Of The Doug", is dedicated to the music of legendary Texan troubadour Doug Sahm (Sir Douglas Quintet).

Of course, it is much more than a fond remembrance and colorful tribute. It's an evocation and 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 has been a restless and relentless search for the Holy Grail of "groove". As a kid, he played pedal steel with Hank Williams Sr. before scoring three Top 40 hits with the Sir Douglas Quintet and recording a dizzying array of solo work with a series of changing personalities on a carousel of record labels.

Son Volt's eleventh release since 1995's Trace follows confidently in Sahm's footsteps. Like any journey in search of a grail, Day of the Doug looks for all the things that make young artists fall in love with making music in the first place: Adventure, curiosity and the chance to grab a bit of immortality.
