Day of the Doug
Day of the Doug is a 2023 studio album by American alternative country band Son Volt. The tribute album to Tex-Mex musician Doug Sahm was conceived by frontman Jay Farrar who listened to Sahm's music during the COVID-19 pandemic and has received positive reviews from critics. Reception Writing for Glide Magazine, Doug Collette considers this release is "twelve songs [that] accurately reflect the eclectic range of style for the object of their affection employed on [Doug Sahm]'s own records" and that Son Volt's "best intentions come to full fruition". In No Depression, Peter Blackstock praises the contributions of bassist Andrew Duplantis and considers the track listing for this album "refreshingly adventurous".
