The discography of Doug Sahm started in 1955 with the release of "A Real American Joe" on Sarg Records.[1] Sahm fronted three bands early in his career: The Pharaohs, The Dell-Kings and The Markays. He released the song "Crazy Daisy" (1959), and he had a local hit in San Antonio, Texas with "Why Why Why" (1960) on Renner Records.[2][3] Sahm had another local hit with "Crazy, Crazy Feeling" (1961).[4][5] After he disbanded the Sir Douglas Quintet in 1972,[6] he was signed by Atlantic Records in October 1972, and he released his solo debut album Doug Sahm and Band.[7]

As his record sales continued to decline in the mid 1970s,[8] Sahm rarely performed concerts outside of the Austin club scene.[9] He started the 1980s recording for Takoma Records.[10] He then moved to the Swedish label Sonet Records. With Sonet Records, Sahm found local success in Sweden and Scandinavia. By 1989, he recorded for Antone's Record Label.[11] In 1999, Sahm started his own label, Tornado Records. His last album, entitled The Return of Wayne Douglas, was released posthumously by his label in 2000.[12]
