comment #5: | excerpt from the liner notes on DOUG SAHM - SAN ANTONIO ROCK (NORTON CED-274): For the fourth and final take of Crazy Daisy, recorded at Texas Sound Studios in early 1958, Doug recruited a vocal group from the West Side, the Pharaohs (Randy Garibay, Duke Anthony, Richard Garza, Joe Perez, and Oscar Cavazos) ran into Doug at a teenage dance at the King Clubs. "When Doug heard us sing," Garibay recalls, "he said, 'Man, I've gotta do something with you guys.'" The musical accompaniment is the Knights, with a simular line-up to that listed above except that Bobby Jett now handles tenor sax. Embellished with the Pharaohs' full harmonies and punctuated with a savage guitar solo from Doug, this final take of Daisy was destined to become a Texas rock and roll classic. After several month of experimenting, Doug - who was, incidentally, in the tenth grade at the time of this session - and E.J. finally had the record they wanted. |
