History

In the early 1960s, Meyers and Doug Sahm founded the Sir Douglas Quintet. 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).

In the 1990s, Meyers co-founded the hugely successful supergroup known as the Texas Tornados with Doug Sahm, Flaco Jiménez, and Freddy Fender.

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, and White Boy Records.

As a studio musician, Meyers has played on numerous releases by other artists, including Bob Dylan, John P. Hammond, John & Mary, Kevin Kosub, Tom Waits and Doug Sahm.

Meyers lives in the Texas Hill Country town of Bulverde.
