In the early 1960s, Meyers and Doug Sahm founded the group known as the Sir Douglas Quintet.
•
As a studio musician, Meyers has played on countless releases by other artists including those by Bob Dylan, John P. Hammond, John & Mary, Kevin Kosub, and Doug Sahm.
The "Wallflower" recording was set aside and would later be released on The Bootleg Series Volumes 1-3 (Rare & Unreleased) 1961-1991, but was recorded, with Dylan's backing vocal, for Doug Sahm's 1973 recording Doug Sahm and his Band.
A critic once wrote: "Imagine Buddy Guy on a road trip, swinging by Tony Joe White's place, calling on Doug Sahm, and they all go to party in New Orleans...that's the vibe of the Navahodads."
Many musicians have recorded Powell’s songs, including Janis Joplin (Bye, Bye Baby), Boz Scaggs (I’ll Forever Sing), Tracy Nelson (Livin’ with the Animals), Roky Erickson (Right Track Now), Doug Sahm (You Don’t Know) & The Vietnam Veterans (Right Track Now).
During this era, Kavana and members of the band toured and recorded with many legendary American acts, including Big Jay McNeely, Clarence "Frogman" Henry, Willie Egan, Dr. John, Doug Sahm, Augie Meyers and Flaco Jiminez, Wallace Davenport, Gatemouth Brown, Memphis Slim, Champion Jack Dupree, and Slim Gaillard.

Willie Nelson, Kinky Friedman, Roy Orbison, Delbert McClinton, Freddy Fender, Doug Sahm and Jerry Jeff Walker, were among Texas musicians who frequented the Lone Star Cafe.
Doug Sahm, a veteran of the professional music scene who first sang on the radio at the age of five, formed the Quintet (first called simply 'Sir Douglas') in 1964 with longtime friend Augie Meyers and the other original members, Jack Barber, Frank Morin and Johnny Perez.
In the 1990s, Meyers co-founded the hugely successful supergroup known as the Texas Tornados with Doug Sahm, Flaco Jiménez, and Freddy Fender.
The soundtrack has most of Kristofferson's The Silver Tongued Devil and I album, and a song by Doug Sahm, along with the Sonny Terry/Brownie McGhee song "Hootin' and Hollerin'"
