This Deep Dive Review is an excerpt from the memoir, of producer Kenny Denton who reflects on the chaotic yet brilliant career of Doug Sahm and the Sir Douglas Quintet. The narrative describes the professional friction caused by Sahm’s unpredictable lifestyle, highlighting a humorous ordeal involving a deceptive taxi driver and the artist's chronic tardiness. Despite the substance-fuelled sessions and administrative nightmares such as a famously lost rental car shared with Bob Dylan, Denton emphasises Sahm’s undeniable musical genius. The text portrays Sahm as a pioneering figure whose Tex-Mex and rock fusion earned him critical respect, even if his eccentricities often exhausted his collaborators. Ultimately, the source serves as a fond tribute to a unique artist who prioritised creative authenticity and spontaneity over industry norms. For the full story along with many more, are in my book “There Ain’t No Rules In Rock ’n’ Roll” is available from Amazon books, in paperback and Kindle.
