Review

Texan folk hero Sir Doug Sahm meets underrated guitarist Amos Garrett and ex-Blasters keyboardist Gene Taylor and they cook like an Austin barbecue. (Originally released on Stony Plain Records in Canada in 1988, The Return Of The Formerly Brothers was released in the U.S. by Rykodisc in 1989.) ~ Jeff Tamarkin, All Music Guide
