Grammy-winning Texas music legend, Augie Meyers' new CD
release (“When You Used To Be Mine”) delivers a bumper
crop that will be harvested for years to come. Augie states
that no matter where he's ever been, his heart has always
been in the country.
Augie can also be heard with the Sir Douglas Quintet, Texas
Tornados, on landmark albums by Bob Dylan (”Time Out of
Mind” and “Love and Theft”), TomWaits (“Bad as Me”), John
Hammond (“Wicked Grin”), Tom Jones (“Praise & Blame”),
Townes Van Zandt (“Texas Rain”), and Big Bill Morganfield
(“Blues With a Mood”), as well as on his seventeen solo
albums.
Augie's keyboard style and his Vox Continental has become one of music's most distinctive
keyboard sounds around. Echoes of his style and sound can be heard in the music of the Doors, the
Kinks, the Animals and the Beatles, just to name a few.
Rolling out of San Antonio, Texas in the early 60's, the Sir Douglas Quintet, a musical partnership
formed with Doug Sahm, brought such hit tunes as "Mendocino" and "She's About a Mover." By
fusing Tex-Mex, Conjunto and soulful rock together along with the power of Meyers' distinctive
Vox organ, he has created an impact that is still being felt in rock 'n' roll today. The Sir Douglas
Quintet never broke up and never succumbed to the lure of the oldies circuit. When Meyers and
his musical cohorts decided they wanted to do something different, they did, which led to the
formation of The Texas Tornados and a Grammy award-winning South Texas sound. Meyers
worked steadily with Sahm until the kinetic guitarist/vocalist passed away in 1999. Augie has
always pursued projects that interest him as an individual and as a
collaborator and has long refused to lock himself into one style of music.
"Augie's my man. He's like an intellectual who goes fishing using
bookworms. Seriously though, he's the shining example of a
musician, Vox player or otherwise, who can break the code. His
playing speaks volumes. Speaks in tongue actually. He can bring a
song, certainly any one of mine, into the real world. I've loved his
playing going all the way back to the Sir Doug days when he was
featured and dominant. What makes him so great is that
internally speaking, he's the master of syncopation and timing.
And this is something that cannot be taught. If you need someone
to get you through the shipping lanes and there's no detours,
Augie will get you right straight through….Augie's your man."
-- Bob Dylan
"Augie is one of the gems of the universe and is one of the
greatest musicians that I've had the honor of working with. His
musical instincts are impeccable, he's just a natural."
--JohnHammond
