Sir Douglas Quintet - Nuevo Laredo

This looks like the 1969 version of the band, lip-syncing on a European TV show. Doug was originally from a neighborhood near mine in my home town and was someone I would always hear stories about, so I've always felt some connection to him. This music is so straightforward and pure in the same way that the best blues, reggae, or old country music is. Like a lot of other people, I still miss him.
