Mendocino - Sir Douglas Quintet

Mendocino - Sir Douglas Quintet
2:39
Mendocino, 1969
Written by Doug Sahm

A catchy pop tune with a laid-back blend of Tex-Mex flavor and stoner garage shuffle.  Spritely organ riffs carry the melody, with jangly guitars in the background, and Sahm's unique voice drawls the yearning lyrics with abandon.   "Teeny Bopper, my teenage lover / I caught your waves last night / It sent my mind to wonderin'."  Summer of '69 perfection!
