Groover's Paradise is an album by Doug Sahm, produced by musician Doug Clifford and released on Warner Records in 1974. Following his return to Texas after his success with the Sir Douglas Quintet in California, Sahm settled in Austin, Texas. As the local music scene thrived, he was featured as the main attraction in local clubs and he recorded his debut album for Atlantic Records.
In California, Sahm became acquainted with the members of Creedence Clearwater Revival, and he signed an agreement with Clifford and Stu Cook to record for their production company after his second Atlantic release was unsuccessful. Groover's Paradise found success in Austin, but it failed to chart on a national level. Meanwhile, it was favored by the critics.
