Giveaway: “Texas Tornado” Doug Sahm Bio
The fine folks at the University of Texas Press have cleared us a couple copies of this new bio for two (2) lucky Rising Storm readers. This is the first biography of the legendary Doug Sahm, a great read which I previously reviewed here. (Back to albums soon I swear it.)
To enter for a chance to win, leave a comment below (with your email address) listing your favorite Doug Sahm tune. If you don’t got one, how about any old Country, Rhythm & Blues, Tex-Mex, Conjunto, or otherwise related groove you think we ought to hear.
Two (2) winners will be selected at random in a week or two and get free books mailed to them! Good luck and thanks for reading.

Who Were You Thinkin’ Of? …I recently heard this song again and right now it is my current favorite.
been diggin on any and all of GROOVERS PARADISE!!! doug and CCR (exceptin the fogey) – hated it at first cuz it was too clean sounding but then really got into it… In fact i’m gonna listen to it on my way home from work!!! Outta here! ALSO – anything off mendocino – thank dood. DinTX
“At The Crossroads” definetly, ’cause you just can’t live in texas if you ain’t got a lotta soul! (saying this sittin’ on the swiss mountains…). although “Stoned Faces Don’t Lie” comes pretty close…
Hi,
I would have suggested At the crossroads but since so many did it already I suggest The homecoming.
Really been falling in love with Doug Sahm, Texas Tornados, all of it! Trying to get to sleep but keep playing old video of “Nuevo Laredo” and “Mendocino.” I know there’s so much more to hear and can’t wait. The man really sang with all his heart, didn’t he?
is it too late to submit my selections? Billy Baety and T bone Shuffle, also The Rains Came and Dallas Alice and Border Wave and Sheila Tequila and all the rest.
