This is a Super Audio CD playable only on Super Audio CD players.
Quite possibly the only electric blues/rock guitarist to come near rivalling Jimi Hendrix, Vaughan, who, like Hendrix, died tragically, was so good he was ridiculous. He was lacking in really good material, and his own compositions were mainly guitar workouts, such as "Rude Mood," although he shows great feeling on the instrumental "Lenny." He is much more comfortable singing non-originals, and on this album he covers Buddy Guy's "Mary Had A Little Lamb" and Howlin Wolf's "Tell Me," but the listener is still waiting for the bit where the guitar solo comes in. Poor Double Trouble barely get a look in.

Was This Review Helpful? Yes No 100% Pure Power Blues
Stevie Ray Vaughan's first album was by far his best. This album is full of pure and authentic blues from an artist that lived the life of a bluesman; he played the blues from deep within his soul and carried his guitar with him at all times. Listen to tracks like "Texas Flood", "Mary had a little lamb" and "Dirty Pool" - these are testimony to just how great SRVs blues playing really was; the man was a legend and he has made a permanent impression in music history. And then there's "Testify", this instrumental is the jewel in SRVs crown; his playing is powerful, intricate and absolutely captivating!!! And to end the album we get another instrumental, "Lenny", that is both melodic and powerful at the same time. If the Fender Stratocaster is Excalibur and Jimi Hendrix was King Arthur, then SRV was the next to take the musical sword and carry on the tradition of sonic blues/rock perfection. "Texas Flood" is the ultimate white-boy blues album. Sadly, we lost SRV on the very night (where legend has it) that Eric Clapton handed the mantle of best guitarist to SRV. You can't top this album, and like Hendrix before him, you can't top Stevie Ray Vaughan.

Was This Review Helpful? Yes No Masterful Disc from a Masterful player
The first solo from the best blues player ever recorded. Blues, swing, boogie... Stevie could play it all..
After performing on David Bowie's "Let's Dance" album, Stevie had the money and the available studio to produce a classic lp. Full of blues songs that he had performed for years in various band incarnations.. as a quartet, a trio even with 6 members!!
Stevie had a talent that was just beginning to be noticed on a national scale.. and this is the album that broke him out of the Texas boogie circuit and onto international fame

Purchase Texas Flood CD To buy, Click on price to add to cart | Stevie Ray Vaughan The Sky Is Crying CD (1991)
Texas Flood
 $7.59  
THE SKY IS CRYING is a collection of 10 previously unreleased studio tracks compiled by Stevie Ray's brother Jimmie Vaughan.
Master Sound releases are 24-karat gold CDs remastered from first generation masters. This process utilizes 20-bit technology and Sony's "Super Bit Mapping" system.
Vaughan's death in August 1990 brought to a tragic end the surging wave of his popularity. The album he had made with his brother Jimmie, FAMILY STYLE, had just been released and this album, prepared by Jimmie from the various album sessions, was not expected to amount to much. In fact, this was at least as good as any of them--and better than LIVE ALIVE. "Little Wing" was perhaps his best adaptation of a Jimi Hendrix song. His take on the Elmore James title song was also a fitting tribute to both the writer and the performer. There are bound to be further compilations ...

$7.59
This 1999 reissue contains three bonus tracks not on the original release.
Digitally remastered by Vic Anesini (Sony Music Studios, New York, New York).
1985's SOUL TO SOUL was Stevie Ray Vaughan and Double Trouble's third album and on it, they are joined by keyboardist Reese Wynans whose contributions gives it a funkier edge than its two predecessors. Vaughan was always respectful of his roots and this time out he chose to included covers of songs by Hank Ballard ("Look At Little Sister"), Earl King ("Come On [Part III]") and Willie Dixon ("You'll Be Mine"). Even on songs he'd written ...

Texas Flood
$7.59
This 1999 reissue contains five bonus tracks not on the original release.
Digitally remastered by Vic Anesini (Sony Music Studios, New York, New York).
The irony of 1989's IN STEP lay in the fact that after rebounding from a terrible drug problem, Stevie Ray Vaughan had his new lease on life cut short by a helicopter crash the following year. The record itself features some of Vaughan's most inspired playing and Double Trouble has rarely sounded better. Songs such as "Crossfire," "Wall Of Denial" and "Tightrope" alluded to Vaughan's personal problems with just the right amount of optimism and scathing guitar thrown in for good measure. Blues influences abound whether it's a rollicking cover of Willie Dixon's "Let Me Love You Baby," a smoldering reading of Buddy Guy's "Leave My Girl Alone" ...

This audio document of The Corrs' Dublin homecoming concert has pretty much everything fans of Irish pop could wish for, including an appearance from Bono in his earthly incarnation, fresh from an audience with President George W. Bush. It's to the band's credit that the charismatic singer fails to steal the show, despite creditable efforts via an anthemized ...
| | Jimmy Gordon Jimmie Gordon, Vol. 1: 1934-1936 CD (2000) Import
Texas Flood
$13.25
In 2000 the Document historical reissue label released three CDs believed to contain every record ever made by Chicago bluesman Jimmie Gordon. Volume 1 covers the years 1934-1936. The earliest recording known to have appeared under his name was a footnote to Bumble Bee Slim's Bluebird session of March 23, 1934. Serving as Slim's piano player, Gordon asked if he might make a record of his own then and there. What resulted was an adaptation of a humorous song (traced back to Peter Clayton and Red Mike Bailey of St. Louis) in which Gordon describes what it's like to subsist on a poor man's diet of pork neckbones. This plight assumes nightmarish proportions as he wakes up surrounded by neckbones in the bed and soon realizes that these byproducts of Chicago's meatpacking industry are curtailing his mobility and have taken over his life. Skeletal remnants also enter into the lyrics of his "Graveyard Blues" in the form of the poignant question: "If you didn't love my flesh, mama, how can you love my bones?" Gordon's singing voice, similar to that of Bumble Bee Slim, enabled him to become a Decca recording artist. This professional arrangement lasted from ...

Is Super Chikan (aka James Johnson) a soul man or a blues man? And where's the line between the two anyway? On What You See, Chikan certainly blurs them: The title cut roars out of the blocks as if it has come straight from the funk store, a greasy wah-wah riff over some blues licks (although one of those licks sounds worryingly like the Stranglers' ...
