Why We Dig Some Sir Doug at TSP!

If you're from Texas you dig two things, Texas music and Texas bar-be-que, so what better combination for our backyard band series than Texas own Doug Sahm. He started out as Little Doug, transformed into Sir Douglas, and was the epitomy of Texas music with his blend of Austin Rock, West Texas Country, TexMex, and San Antonio Blues. So start off July a little early and join us as we light up the pit, smoke some cow, and spin a few tunes from made famous by Sir Douglas...and you'll know why we dug some Doug Sahm and Texas bar-be-que.

Saturday Single Back 2 Back

We really show off our flexibility today with a Saturday Single  - Back 2 Back separated by 50 years, this tune was ouriginally a hit 78 for the bluesman, Blind Lemon Jefferson. Deep Elem Blues has been covered by countless bands through the decades and continues to be a popular song today. It is an ode to a part of east Dallas which was originally the urban hub for African American commerce during the early twentieth century...today it has re-emerged as a hip residential and shopping area for the hot rod and tattoo crowd around Big D and of course, the tourists. Here are Mary McCoy and the Cycolones from 1965 and Levon Helm, from Merefest, some 50 years later with Deep Elem Blues...from Trick's Synthetic Podcast.
