| 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

| 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.

Stevie Ray Vaughan / Stevie Ray Vaughan & Double Trouble
Couldn't Stand the Weather Vinyl LP (1984) 
Texas Flood songs 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.
Stevie Ray was already the hottest act in Austin, Texas, way before David Bowie used his guitar on "Let's Dance." Vaughan's 1983 debut album, TEXAS FLOOD, had alerted the world to a new guitar phenomenon who combined the blues power of Freddie and Albert King with the inspired ferocity of Jimi Hendrix. He made the Hendrix connection plain with his take on "Voodoo Chile (Slight Return)," which rapidly became a concert highlight. At the other extreme was "Tin Pan Alley," a slow blues made famous by Jimmy Wilson but now associated with the Texas hotshot. This was the time when Stevie Ray's celebrity and status among his peers was at least the equal of Eric Clapton. The pitfalls were beckoning.
