History [ edit ]
He was born in San Antonio , Texas , United States.[3] In the early 1960s, Meyers and Doug Sahm founded the Sir Douglas Quintet.[3] His Vox organ was a familiar element of the group's sound, as heard on tracks like "She's About a Mover " (1964), "Mendocino" (1969), and "Nuevo Laredo" (1970).[3]
In the 1990s, Meyers co-founded the successful supergroup known as the Texas Tornados with Doug Sahm , Flaco Jiménez , and Freddy Fender .[3]
Since the 1970s, Meyers has operated several of his own record labels, including the Texas Re-Cord Company (co-founded with Lucky Tomblin), Superbeet Records, White Boy Records, and El Sendero.
As a studio musician, Meyers has played on numerous releases by other artists, including Bob Dylan , John P. Hammond , Tom Jones , John & Mary , Tom Waits , Raul Malo , and Doug Sahm .
Meyers lives in the Texas Hill Country town of Bulverde .
