Episode 65 DOUG SAHM AND BAND by DOUG SAHM with Wes Hamilton

Spinning Out (another music podcast) We talk to artists about their favorite albums and go on wild tangents. Today we're talking with my long-time friend Wes Hamilton about Doug Sahm's 1973 album, "Doug Sahm and Band." We talk about Sahm's life and legacy as an underrated country music troubadour, as well as growing up around country music and how its similarities with punk music inform Wes' songwriting to this day. We recorded this episode in person a few weeks ago, so please excuse the slight differences in ambience. Wes plays in the group, Wes & the Railroaders and previously played music with yours truly in Pullman Strike, Meth Mtn and Obstruction. You can also catch him slinging pedal steel all over the southeast. Check out The Railroaders' latest EP, "Drinking My Way Up." https://wesandtherailroaders.bandcamp.com/album/drinking-my-way-up
