Sir Douglas Quintet was a rock band active from 1964 to 1999, originating from San Antonio, Texas. Despite their British sounding name, they were known for their Tex-Mex sound. The band's most recognizable lineup included *Sir Douglas* (lead vocals, lead & rhythm guitars, bajo-sexto, fiddle), Augie Meyers (organ, piano, accordion, guitar, vocals), Frank Morin (saxophone, trumpet and keyboards), Harvey Kagan (bass), and Johnny Perez (drums). Over the years, the band also featured various talented musicians such as Doug "Cosmo" Clifford and Louie Ortega.

Throughout their career, Sir Douglas Quintet released several spinoff albums including [a1995068] in 1973 and [a339869] in 1976. Their unique blend of rock and Tex-Mex music set them apart from other bands of the time. With influences ranging from country to blues to R&B, their sound resonated with audiences worldwide.

Legendary Texan group, the Sir Douglas Quintet mixed country, blues, jazz, R&amp;B, Mexican and British rock and roll to form one of the most influential groups to emerge from Texas during the 1960s British invasion. Hits include the 1965 single She’s About A Mover which reached #15 in the UK charts and was a US top 20, a British invasion / garage rock track. The Rains Came hit top 40 in the US and both tracks feature on this this 1966 album. Reissued for the first time in the UK. This classic is presented on 180g heavyweight black vinyl with original artwork and printed inner sleeve.
