In-Edit Beefeater 2015: Sir Doug and the Genuine Texas Cosmic Groove

Joe Nick Patoski. USA, 2015. Original language, Spanish subtitles. 82'.

The inimitable Doug Sahm and his search for 'groove' (ie, whatever floats his boat). At times it looks like he’s nailed it, but the industry is thankless and cruel. From the Sir Douglas Quintet to inventing progressive country, being admired by Dylan and winding up (bitter) singing 'Bavarian Baby' in Germany. Failure or triumph for integrity?
