As his record sales continued to decline in the mid 1970s,[8] Sahm rarely performed concerts outside of the Austin club scene.[9] He started the 1980s recording for Takoma Records.[10] He then moved to the Swedish label Sonet Records. With Sonet Records, Sahm found local success in Sweden and Scandinavia. By 1989, he recorded for Antone's Record Label.[11] In 1999, Sahm started his own label, Tornado Records. His last album, entitled The Return of Wayne Douglas, was released posthumously by his label in 2000.[12]
