Description
A debut seemingly sent from the musical heavens, Stevie Ray Vaughan and Double Troubles Texas Flood announces the arrival of a truly special talentnamely, the last major blues guitarist to emerge with a voice all his own, an immediately distinctive style, and a soulfulness that you feel inside the depths of your existence. Not for nothing was Vaughan frequently mentioned in the same breath as his closest musical cousin, Jimi Hendrix.
The proof is scattered throughout Texas Flood, which single-handedly resuscitated a genre that had long been dormant. Having spent more than half a year on the Billboard charts, the set pays homage to influences (Hendrix, Albert King, Larry Davis) and ripples with a freshness that joins contemporary Texas blues and muscular rock at the hip. Vaughans playing is all about emotion and pace, whether hes lighting it up on the jumpy Love Struck Baby or bursting with enthusiasm on the sparks-shooting Pride and Joy.
