Doug Sahm & Augie Meyers: The "West Side" Sound Rolls Again (Amigo)

One of my favorite Doug Sahm records - a collection of Texas & Louisiana favorites with a crack band including, among others,  Rocky Morales, Arturo "Sauce" Gonzalez, and Ernie Durawa.

Do not know this CD`s "street value" but the seller in question asks always for ridiculously high prices ....

Arguably Tjader's most swinging album. Was finally on CD last year on the Britsh él / Cherry Red label, combined with Tjader's preceding Verve LP In A Latin Bag.

Gene Harris, Nature's Way (JAM Records - and I just discovered it was distributed by jem Records of New Jersey   )

This is such a schizophrenic album, when I found it way back when I saw Ron Eschete on guitar and Luther Hughes on bass, both future members of the quartet, but also Gene and someone else listed on synthesizers, so major red flags went up. Still, its Gene, and Side 2 consists of Hymn to Freedom, It Might as Well be Spring, St Thomas so I figured I'd at least like half of it.

And that's the part I transferred to CDR with the slightly better Hot Lips also on JAM.

So fast forward to last night and I see this on eBay as a Japanese CD and I think, could there be alternates or unissued tracks from the good side of this record? No, but I notice "You Don't Know Me" on the first, awful side of the LP, and that's a track that was used as Gene's feature with Ray Brown at one time. 

So I transferred side 1 into the PC this morning, sadly verified that "Rewind" "Nature's Way" and "Vinegar Kisses" were appalling but buried in between is a very fine performance.  Not as great as this one

 

But basically because of an idle search on eBay (or is that "idol" search considering my former GHF status?) I found NEW Gene Harris in the stacks!!!  If I'd only known about "You Don't Know Me" at the time, I wouldn't have given up on Side 1 of Nature's Way, way back when.

Oh Happy Day!!!

Continuing the Cal Tjader trend with Along Came Cal (Verve). Definitely prefer Side 2.

And Odell Brown Plays Otis Redding (Cadet). Sunk by the horn arrangements.
