About She's About a Mover

She's About a Mover is a 1965 song by the Sir Douglas Quintet. and was quickly covered by several other artists. The song has a 12-bar blues structure, and is structured in a similar manner to The Beatles' "She's a Woman", Holland–Dozier–Holland's "Can I Get a Witness" and Ray Charles' "What'd I Say". This was one of the many hits recorded at a studio that was known in the 60's as Gold Star Studios (this was also a different studio from the other studio under the same name based in LA) that later became known as SugarHill Recording Studios located in Houston, Texas. Other hits recorded in this same studio included "Treat Her Right" by Roy Head & the Traits and "Funny" by Joe Hinton and "Turn On Your Love Light" by Bobby "Blue" Bland. The song was named the number one 'Texas' song by Texas Monthly, also charting at #15 on the UK Singles Chart. With a Vox Continental organ riff provided by Augie Meyers and a soulful vocal by lead singer-guitarist Doug Sahm, the track has a Tex-Mex sound. The regional smash became a breakaway hit, and the recording was used in the soundtracks of the films Echo Park (1986), American Boyfriends (1989), The Doors (1991), Riding in Cars with Boys (2001), Sorority Boys (2002), and Beautiful Darling (2010). In 1983, the song appeared on Ringo Starr's ninth album Old Wave. more »

The Sir Douglas Quintet

The Sir Douglas Quintet was an American rock band, formed in San Antonio in 1964. With their first hits, they were acclaimed in their home state. When their career was established (subsequent to working with Texas record producer Huey Meaux), the band relocated to the West Coast. Their move coincided with the burgeoning San Francisco psychedelic rock scene of the mid 1960s to early 1970s. Overall, the quintet were exponents of good-times music with strong roots in blues and Texas-regional traditions. The band's songs were most noted for the instantly distinguishable organ sound of Augie Meyers' Vox Continental. more »
