I had never heard of this man until the movie. Some of the greatest musicians are little known due to lack of super agents to boost them up the charts!

Stevie Ray Vaughan Biography

Stephen ("Stevie") Ray Vaughan (October 3, 1954 – August 27, 1990), born in Dallas, Texas, was an American blues guitarist, credited with reviving interest in blues in the 1980s. His broad appeal made him one of America's most influential electric blues guitarists. He was the younger brother of Jimmie Vaughan.

Vaughan was born and raised in the Oak Cliff neighborhood of Dallas, Texas, but dropped out of Kimball High School and moved to Austin to pursue music. Vaughan's talent caught the attention of guitarist Johnny Winter, and blues-club owner Clifford Antone.

Vaughan's first recording band was called Paul Ray and the Cobras. They played at clubs and bars in Austin during the mid-1970s, and released one single. Vaughan later recorded two other singles under the band name The Cobras. Following the break-up of The Cobras, he formed Triple Threat in late 1975, which included bassist Jackie Newhouse, drummer Chris Layton, and vocalist Lou Ann Barton. Barton left the band in 1978 to pursue a solo career, and the three remaining members started performing under the name Double Trouble, inspired by an Otis Rush song of the same name. Vaughan became the band's lead singer.

Tommy Shannon, the bass player on Johnny Winter's early albums, replaced Newhouse in 1981. A popular Austin act, Vaughan soon attracted the attention of musicians David Bowie and Jackson Browne, and played on albums with both. Bowie first caught Vaughan at the 1982 Montreux Jazz Festival, where some members of the audience booed the band, probably because they disliked Double Trouble's hard blues sound. (The crowd response was quite different when they appeared at the festival again in 1985.) Bowie then featured Vaughan on his 1983 album Let's Dance.

Stevie Ray Vaughan and Double Trouble's debut album was released in 1983. The critically acclaimed Texas Flood, produced by John Hammond, featured the top-20 hit "Pride and Joy" and sold 500,000 copies, earning the band a Gold Record. The band's next albums, Couldn't Stand the Weather (1984) and Soul to Soul (1985), also "went gold", but did not receive as much critical acclaim as their debut.

Great links to a GREAT guitar artist

Ol' Stevie Ray.. he was the man.. such an incredible guitarist, and real joy to watch play.. but not only could he play the guitar, he had an incredible voice as well.

I've seen videos from those two different performances from the Montreux Jazz Festival. Got a few other DVDs as well.. just fun to watch him play.

If you've got some mp3 files you'd like to upload.. you can go to your "My SBLive!" link and then go to "podcasts" and you could upload some mp3s that way..

So I watched that first youtube link.. there Kings vocals sound a bit more like I might like.. compared to that album I checked out earlier today.. but what's with the lack of a live band, and the use of a freakin' D.J. and the records

the B.B. King box was informative..

Those were indeed interesting clips! I'll have to admit I'm more of a modern guitar girl! I like Joe Perry, Jimmy Page, Keith Richards, oh and are you familiar with Keith Urban? He's country but he's awesome on guitar and piano....easy on the eyes too...

Texasbelle · 06-10-2007, 10:58 PM

Yes it helps if they are easy on the eyes!!!

This is the best of the best that David Gilmour has to offer. You can buy David Gilmour in Concert on DVD and I have yet to meet anybody that did not like it. Heck my mom even liked a few parts and that is a major leap. It has a great mix of their music. Great to relax and get the old gray matter flowing with a good glass of red wine.

I did see them at Texas Stadium in 94 and it was a three hour forty five mineut concert of concerts. Lazer show that was far ahead of the times.

One of my favorite songs :
High Hopes

beyond the horizon of the place we lived when we were young
In a world of magnets and miracles
our thoughts strayed constantly and without boundary
The ringing of the division bell had begin

Along the long road and on down the causeway
Do they still meet there by the cut

There was a ragged band that followed in our footsteps
Running before time took our dreams away
Leaving the myriad small creatures trying to tie us to the ground
To a life consumed by slow decay

The grass was greener
The light was brighter
With friends surrounded
The night of wonder

Looking beyond the embers of bridges glowing behind us
To a glimpse of how green it was on the other side
Steps taken forwards but sleepwalking back again
Dragged by the force of some inner tide

At a higher altitude with flag unfurled
We reached the dizzy heights of that dreamed of world

enumbered forever by desire and ambition
There's a hunger still unsatisfied
Our weary eyes still stray to the horizon
Though down this road we've been so many time

The grass was greener
The light was brighter
The taste was sweeter
The nights of wonder
With friends surrounded
The dawn mist glowing
The water flowing
The endless river
Forever and ever
What do you want from me

As you look around this room tonight
Settle in your seats and dim the lights
Do you want my blood, do you want my tears
What do you want
What do you want from me
Should I sing until I can't sing any more
Play these strings until my fingers are raw
You're so hard to please
What do you want from me

Do you think that I know something you don't know
What do you want from me
If I don't promise you the answers would you go
What do you want from me
Should I stand out in the rain
Do you want me to take a daisy chain for you
I'm not the one you need

What do you want from me
You can have anything you want
You can drift, you can dream, even walk on water
Anything you want

You can own everything you see
Sell your soul for complete control
Is that really what you need
You can lose yourself this night
See inside there is nothing to hide
Turn and face the light
What do you want from me
