Revered band Son Volt pay homage to the legendary Doug Sahm on the new album&nbsp;Day Of The Doug. Son Volt founder Jay Farrar’s goal with this 12-song collection was not only to pay&nbsp;tribute to&nbsp;Sahm’s music and influence, but to also highlight some of the deeper tracks in his heralded canon, specifically from a prolific period during the late 1960s through the 1970s. It’s a celebration of a songwriter and performer whose work forged country, Tex-Mex, rock, rhythm and blues, folk, and psychedelia into an utterly unique American sound.

Over the course of a 50-year career, Doug Sahm blazed trails across genres, churning together key elements of rock, R&amp;B, country, folk, Tex-Mex and psychedelia into&nbsp;something that existed in its own unique space. He shared a stage playing steel with Hank Williams, Sr. as a kid before making three Top 40 hits with the Sir Douglas Quintet and recording a heralded body of solo work. He never stopped evolving and consistently obliterating musical boundaries.

Farrar had a personal connection with Sahm, both as a friend and mentor. Sahm sang with Farrar on the final Uncle Tupelo album&nbsp;Anodyne&nbsp;(1993) as they recorded an exceptional rendition of his classic song ‘Give Back the Key to My Heart’.&nbsp;Day Of The Doug&nbsp;opens and closes with personal messages left by Sahm on the Son Volt leader’s answering machine.

In 1995, Son Volt released their seminal debut album,&nbsp;Trace, one of the most influential albums of the alt-country movement and what would later become Americana. For the 25th&nbsp;anniversary of the album in 2020, the group planned a tour to perform&nbsp;Trace&nbsp;from top to bottom in celebration of the milestone. However, the pandemic did not cooperate.
