Doug Sahm and Band is the debut solo album of American singer-songwriter Doug Sahm. In 1972, after leaving the Sir Douglas Quintet, Sahm moved to Austin, Texas. He was signed by Jerry Wexler to the newly opened country music division of Atlantic Records, and started the album sessions by October 1972.

Ein letztes Aufbäumen des Sir Douglas Quintet erfolgte 1994, als Doug Sahm für das Album Day Dreaming At Midnight den Bandnamen wieder benutzte. Inzwischen saßen Doug Clifford von Creedence Clearwater Revival und Sahms Söhne Shawn und Shandon mit im Boot. Mit Doug Sahms Tod im November 1999 starb auch das Sir Douglas Quintet endgültig.

Douglas Wayne Sahm was born November 6, 1941, in San Antonio, Texas. Considered to be a prodigy on steel-guitar, mandolin, and fiddle, he made his radio debut at age five singing "Teardrops In My Heart" on station KMAC in San Antonio. This was followed by two years of radio appearances on the Mutual network.
