Sam the Sham and the Pharoahs were IT as far as mid-'60s Texas rock & roll goes. "Woolly Bully" alone marks them for canonization, but many of their other songs are the equal of that celebrated trash-rock masterpiece. Frankly salacious tunes like "Little Red Riding Hood" and "How Do You Catch a Girl" are powered by Domingo "Sam" Samudio's gloriously cheesy Farfisa organ and Butch Gibson's greasy sax, with the other Pharoahs letting rip with the sort of ragged-but-right groove that defines this style of music.
