Free Music Review: Best guitarist alive!!!!!!
Hit: 5 Stars
Stevie Ray Vaughan amazes me every time I buy another of his albums. This album, most of all, is the best album of his by far. Since he had become sober his motivation for the blues has rekindled and he is playing the best he has ever. Not only are there classics like "Crossfire" and "Tightrope" but the covers "Let Me Love you Baby" and "Leave My Girl Alone" are a surprise. Perhaps the best live performer as well is evident with his live performance of "Life Without You". His playing is so heart felt and moving that you are rendered speachless. About seven minutes into this twelve minute song he talks to the audience about his past life and how he used alcohol and partying to hide from life. This speech is moving as well. If you allready own this cd then i would still purchase this cd just for this one live performance. This performance defines what the best guitarist ever should play like.Free Music Review: Newly Remastered Version info

Stevie Ray Vaughan's In Step album is one of my favorites, but of course, they are all good. My review is simply to inform buyers of any differences between this version (1999) and the older original version (1989). Basically, the only reason to buy this newer version is for the bonus tracks. The newer version is not very sonically different than the older original version, which for a CD released in 1989 had better than average sound quality including good bass response and a decent output level. It was mixed and mastered just like a vinyl record using no discernable compression. This newly "remastered" version sounds very similar with just barely a perceptable amount of a higher output level. Also, for those that hate remastered discs that use too much compression to make them seem louder, this version is NOT a victim of the loudness war. I checked the level with a Denon CD recorder and the levels did not even hit the -0- Decibel mark. Hope this helps.Free Music Review: SVR Was The Midas Of the Blues Here He Is Platinum & Beyond

Of course there will never be another, Stevie ain't coming back. Yet not unlike, but better than, Jimi, Stevie's post this life releases glow with light and fire. Here the fire is white hot, the glow at times blinding. Is it not enough that the best of all his releases is remastered and given new power. Not this time, baby! (oh behave)This one comes loaded to the point of bursting with some of SRV's best live cuts. If you were to buy only one blues CD this year and already had the original, this would still be the one. The best of his studio work mixed liberally with the best of his live. Brothers and Sisters stand up together reach your hands into your wallets and purses and draw forth that magic ticket that will make this lifetime CD yours all yours. Remember you get not one This House is a Rocking you get TWO! Then remember that he was clean, sober, and IN Step. Makes me happy and proud to have done the same.Free Music Review: I'd buy for the bonus tracks alone.

Stevie's last album is terrific in its original form. Released after he had cleaned up his life, it's some of his most powerful guitar playing and lyrics. As an instrumental, Riviera Paradise is fantastic. However, the addition of the live tracks make this a must have. Personally, I would buy a CD of the live version of "Life Without You" alone. I was fortunate enough to have driven Stevie and his band to a 1988 show in Santa Barbara, CA, and was priveledged to watch the show from backstage. The most memorable part was his spoken interlude during "Life Without You" about where he had been in his life, and how much he cherished it at that point. When he tragically died, the first song KLOS in Los Angeles played, was "Life Without You." This version with the interlude was never available until now, and it only serves as a reminder of what we truly lost when Stevie died.Free Music Review: Crown Jewel

I can't say I know how Stevie managed to craft one of the greatest blues/pop records of a generation. Fusing blues, rock, jazz, and other influences, this is a record that will really leave your jaw agape. Like Jimi's Axis: Bold as Love, Stevie was headed out to uncharted territory for someone of his musical genre. He was one of those few muscians, in the company of Hendrix, Jeff Beck, and Frank Zappa, who recognized that it is imagination, not opportunity or the desire of your fans, that govern where your craft leads you.
During the Guitar Shop/In Step tour Jeff Beck and SRV rotated as show openers for the other. At a show at the Worcester Centrum SRV was the opener and closed his set with one of the single greatest displays of blues, jazz, and fusion, playing Riviera Paradise, I have ever witnessed...and stunningly, the venue was only half full.
