I wish he were alive, so I could get to see him in concert, but so grateful his music lives on. His musicality is beyond talent-SRV knew how to make his guitar say it all-and when he adds his own voice.well, it's unlike any other musical experience. I am a fan of many kinds of music- from New Age to Classical.Stevie Ray Vaughan never disappoints me.
Not before.not during and for sure not since. I won't rehash what everyone else has already said but keep this in mind.No one EVER did it better than Stevie Ray Vaughan. Stevie Ray WAS electric blues done to perfection. Any album,Cd,tape by Stevie Ray Vaughan is 10,000 times better than anything anyone else has ever put out. This is, by far, his and Double Troble's best album and the extended tracks are all excellent.
Thanks. Love the CD. This is one of my favorites and the arrival was quick and easy.
I am only sad that he is goneand could not continue with Great Guitar and Rocking background accompaniment. As with all of his work, it is very good.
He was one of those few muscians, in the company of Hendrix, Jeff Beck, and Frank Zappa, who recognized that it is imagination, not opportunity or the desire of your fans, that govern where your craft leads you. I can't say I know how Stevie managed to craft one of the greatest blues/pop records of a generation. At a show at the Worcester Centrum SRV was the opener and closed his set with one of the single greatest displays of blues, jazz, and fusion, playing Riviera Paradise, I have ever witnessed.and stunningly, the venue was only half full. During the Guitar Shop/In Step tour Jeff Beck and SRV rotated as show openers for the other. Fusing blues, rock, jazz, and other influences, this is a record that will really leave your jaw agape. Like Jimi's Axis: Bold as Love, Stevie was headed out to uncharted territory for someone of his musical genre.
