Recording Rio Medina: The Doug Sahm SessionsThis Deep Dive account provides a behind-the-scenes look at the recording of the Sir Douglas Quintet’s album, Rio Medina, as remembered by producer Kenny Denton.

Denton details the unpredictable studio environment shaped by Doug Sahm’s frequent drug use, lack of punctuality, and habit of improvising hits on a whim.
