Mendocino [Bonus Tracks] (1969)

Chart success for the title song led to a hurried release for this band's second album, Mendocino, although perhaps the most famous song, "She's About a Mover," originated a few years prior with another version.

Chart success for the title song led to a hurried release for this band's second album, Mendocino, although perhaps the most famous song, "She's About a Mover," originated a few years prior with another version. Listeners will probably be more familiar with the version heard here, the one with the freaky feedback guitar solo and fake fadeout that oldies disc jockeys like to yabber over. This and "Mendocino" are only two of the many nearly perfect tracks on this record, some of which give off the illusion (perhaps an accurate one) that they were simply tossed off without a whole lot of preparation. "Texas Me" is genius on triple levels: there is the poetry of the lyrics, the soulful delivery from the singer, and finally, the haunting recording fat with echoey, multi-tracked vocal and fiddle. When the listener reaches the end, "Baby It Just Don't Matter," it is as if one has strolled through an old neighborhood searching for a lost sound in the air, only to find a good, friendly rock band is jamming in a garage right down the block. The players are the classic Sir Douglas Quintet lineup, including Augie Meyers. The 2002 reissue contains the bonus tracks "Sunday Sunny Mill Valley Groove Day," "Sir Doug's Recording Trip," "Homecoming," "Hello Amsterdam," and alternate takes of "At the Crossroads," and "Texas Me."~ Eugene Chadbourne, Rovi Read Less
