Buy Now	Texas Flood (more) »rank: 906 by: Stevie Ray Vaughan & Double Trouble : essential recording:This legendary 1983 debut by the fallen torchbearer of the '80s-'90s blues revival sounds even more dramatic in its remixed and expanded edition. Stevie Ray Vaughan's guitar and vocals are a bit brighter and more present on this 14-track CD. And the newly included bonus numbers (an incendiary studio version of the slow blues 'Tin Pan Alley' that was left off the original release, and live takes of 'Testify,' 'Mary Had a Little Lamb,' and the instrumental 'Wham!' from a 1983 Hollywood concert) illuminate the raw soul and passion that propelled his artistry even when he was under the spell of ...

Buy Now	Stevie Ray Vaughan & Double Trouble - The Real Deal: Greatest Hits 2 (more) »rank: 4149 by: Stevie Ray Vaughan & Double Trouble : :The real deal is that this is not so much a hits package as a hyped collection of songs that made the charts, album tracks, and rarities like Stevie Ray Vaughan's 'Pipeline' duet with surf-rock king Dick Dale. (At least SRV completists no longer have to buy the God-awful Back to the Beach soundtrack.) Blending blues classics, rockers, and instrumentals was a signature of Vaughan's sets, but it doesn't work for these 16 tunes. Lesser numbers like 'Empty Arms,' 'Shake for Me,' and 'Wall of Denial' seem filler between thrillers like 'Telephone Song,' 'Scuttle Buttin',' and a version of 'Leave My Girl Alone' ...	Buy Now	The Sky Is Crying (more) »rank: 5189 by: Stevie Ray Vaughan and Double Trouble : :Released after Vaughan's death in a 1990 helicopter accident, The Sky Is Crying collects unreleased studio tracks from throughout the guitarist's recorded career. In Vaughan's early years, he was a stylist who thought nothing of using ten notes when three would have worked. Rock stardom, cocaine, and alcohol did little to temper his tendency towards overstatement, but by In Step, his last studio album (and first clean-and-sober effort), he'd begun to transcend his many influences to forge a hard-boiled style of his own. The collection documents this passage, starting with unreleased covers of Lonnie Mack's 'Wham' and Jimi Hendrix's 'Little Wing' from the ...
Buy Now	In Step (more) »rank: 6961 by: Stevie Ray Vaughan & Double Trouble : essential recording:In Step embraces blues and rock without compromising the primal joys of either. This is Stevie Ray Vaughan's best studio album and the first he recorded sober. 'Travis Walk' offers a heady rush of flat-picking, 'The House is Rockin'' is full-tilt roots-boogie, 'Let Me Love You Baby' and 'Leave My Girl Alone' are sweet blues epiphanies, and the nine-minute instrumental 'Riviera Paradise' is a truly soulful mix of blues and jazz. By now, just a year before his untimely death, Vaughan had also tamed his bawling voice into a rich instrument. In short, this 1989 session is Vaughan at his artistic ...	Buy Now	Stevie Ray Vaughan and Double Trouble (more) »rank: 7942 by: Stevie Ray Vaughan & Double Trouble : :This career-spanning box of three CDs and a DVD celebrates a legacy that looms larger than that of any blues-rocking guitarist since Jimi Hendrix. Despite fears that a series of posthumous releases had depleted the Stevie Ray Vaughan vaults, previously unreleased gems dominate the selection. Highlights extend from Vaughan's swaggering apprenticeship with Paul Ray and the Cobras to slash-and-burn concert performances from the final month of his life. There are obligatory dips into the songbooks of Hendrix and Buddy Guy, appearances on MTV Unplugged and Austin City Limits, and instrumental interplay with brother Jimmie Vaughan and tourmate Jeff Beck. Though his guitar never ...

Then he comes on with a version of Freddie King's 'Hideaway' that chugs like a locomotive. There's also a heretofore unheard slide-guitar-powered 'Give Me Back My Wig' and a blueprint of what became Soul to Soul's radio hit 'Look at Little Sister.' All those follow ...	Buy Now	Solos, Sessions & Encores (more) »rank: 5761 by: Stevie Ray Vaughan : :The blues-rock guitar hero's studio vaults were nearly empty when he died in an August 27, 1990, helicopter crash. This set unearths a 1978 Austin session track of 'You Can Have My Husband' with Vaughan as second fiddle to his then girlfriend, singer Lou Ann Barton, but it's undistinguished compared to the previously unreleased live performances that compose this disc's heart. Vaughan contributes teeth-baring pentatonic solos to Lonnie Mack's 'Oreo Cookie Blues' at Atlanta's Fox Theatre in 1986 and brings his bullish tone to the late blues piano stomper Katie Webster's 'On the Run' at the 1988 New Orleans Jazz & Heritage Festival. ...
