Music reviews of S.D.Q. '98
Music Review: A Royal Rascal!
Rating: 4 Stars
We lost Doug Sahm ten years ago, but there are a lot of memories of the great man for us to enjoy still. "S.D.Q." '98" was a project put together right towards the end of it all, and it is one of Doug's best recordings.
With the bouncy & fun: "Get a Life" Doug, has out-done Jimmy Buffet, this is a feel-good gem of a song. "St. Olav's Gate" is a mixture of Texas country and low-down blues about the cool life up in Norway, "Olav" is one of those cry-in-your-beer tunes that Doug can do justice to, and make it all right before it's over. This is slow texas swing music.
The longtime favorite: "Goodbye San Francisco" is brought out and re-worked as a lively Honky-Rocker with Cajun accordion mixed in, the harmonies here are perfect as Doug, goes that extra mile to get it sounding greater than before. "Give Me Back The Keys To My Heart" is a wonderful track, maybe the strongest cut on this CD, again the vocal work is great here.
"Malmo Mama" has that Texas meets the Bajou feel to it, with some good ol' Rock 'N' Roll, mixed in....this is one tasty gumbo and full of flavor.
"On Bended Knee" takes us right back into the mid-fifties for a little while, this is real Fats Domino territory....very nice. "Louis Riel" is one of Doug's best, great story and excellent delivery, Canada & Mexico's musical styles melt together on this song, somewhere near New Orleans.
"The Ballad of Davy Crockett" is a favorite track to many fans of this record. This one has grown on me over multiple plays, I like it, but it still feels a bit outta place on this great record. Davy, is a hero, and so is Doug Sahm, that is the connection for me. "Sooner or Later" is another one of those great songs, that almost nobody has never heard, again: The Alamo, is the theme of things, and the music is outstanding here and sets a cool mood. Doug, again it should be said, is really singing great here....another gem of a song....great stuff!
The closer: "Invitation to the Blues" takes us back again to one of those Texas dance halls on a hot Saturday night, it is a slow swing tune and it is the proper way to rap up this fine record. Wonderful steel guitar and fiddle set the mood here....the mood is Texas... Doug Sahm, should always be remembered as true Texas Royality.
A hidden piano-rocker pops up at the end of the disc, don't know the name of this little ditty, but I do wish there was more...this is a great CD. This music is happy, fun and full of life...this is Doug Sahm.
4.5 Stars !!!
