Free Music Review: The Greatest Blues-Rock Guitarist
Hit: 5 Stars
Stevie Ray Vaughan was, without a doubt, the greatest Blues-Rock guitarist of all-time. However, I'd like to stress the term, "Blues Rock", and not "Blues". He was not a Bluesman. Being a Bluesman requires more than just playing Blues guitar licks very fast and accurately. On this album, his singing is solid, the music makes the listener move his/her feet, the guitar playing is frantic and a great deal of fun, and Vaughan simply comes across as having an original image and sound. The album is available for a very cheap price on Amazon.com, so you should definitely pick it up. This is Vaughan's best album. Although I detest him being considered "the best Bluesman", he was still a great musician and I would have loved to have seen him live in concert. His pre-mature death will remain one of the greatest tragedies in music history. "Pride And Joy", "Texas Flood" and "Rude Mood" are all excellent. Fenton Robinson also performed "Texas Flood" on his "Somebody Loan Me A Dime" album, and it sounds a great deal different than it does on this album.Free Music Review: Remastered Version Info
Hit: 5 Stars
Stevie Ray Vaughan's Texas Flood album is one of my favorites, and hands down one of the greatest musical statements of that decade. My review is simply to inform buyers of any differences between this version (1999) and the older original version (1983). 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 1983 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 perceptible 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 in making your buying decision.Free Music Review: This album is so good it hurts!

I dont care what anyone say or tells you Texas Flood is the best SRV & Double Trouble album, ever! This is in the top five guitar albums of all time, I mean if you got rid of the vocals this would still be one of the best albums ever because of Stevies Solos, and riffs, He is with out a doubt one of the top ten guitar players to ever pick up the damn instrument! I mean Texas Flood has one of the best guitar solos I have ever heard! The same can be said for Pride and Joy. All the songs on this album have amazing guitar, and SRV has an amazing blues voice he really is a talent among talents and Texas Flood is one of the best albums you will ever own in your life. As a great extra treat you get a few bonus songs at the end of the album, and they are live so you get a little extra emotion behind every solo. I am telling you this now if you do not own this you are missing out on the leter-day Johnny Winter, which means SRV is probly the best white blues player in the history of the blues!Free Music Review: This Album Saved The Blues
Hit: 5 Stars
Do you remember the state of The Blues in the early 80's? Of course you don't because it was nowhere. When SRV burst on the nationwide scene in 1983 Buddy Guy's career was over and guess what ... so was Eric Clapton's! How many albums since Stevie Ray has Clapton released that are blues albums? Pretty much all of them. Do guys like Johnny Lang and Kenny Wayne Shepherd have careers if Texas Fllod isn't released? Probably not. Stevie Ray Vaughan is referred to as "the man who saved the blues." Who says so? Eric Clapton, Buddy Guy, Kenny Wayne Shepherd, Guitar World Magazine.
Texas Flood is the album that made all of us sit up and reconsider the music that spawned the SRV's spiritual antecedent Jimi Hendrix Stones, The Beatles, Zeppelin, ZZ Top, The Black Crowes etc. and made all serious guitar players everywhwere say "wow, that hurts my fingers just listening."
Stevie Ray did things on this album that has not been successfully and consistently imitated by anyone.
Free Music Review: An Intense Electric Blues Album
Hit: 5 Stars
From the upbeat, "Love Struck Baby", to the concluding, "Lenny", this album is a non stop ride of well structured blues songs with wailing guitar solo's make this album a must have. Released in 1983 Stevie Ray Vaughan and Double Trouble's debut album is by far there best and has remained a classic album to this day. What's shocking about this album is that it was recorded in only a mere three days and what's even more shocking is that it took Stevie Ray Vaughan almost ten years before he landed a record deal.
Texas Flood, was respectivley named by Stevie Ray Vaughan to honor Larry Davis a relatively unknown blues guitarist from Austin Texas wrote the original version of, "Texas Flood", back in 1960, Stevie Ray Vaughan's version contains a slow beginning beat but then launches into a wailing blues guitar solo that keeps you listening every time. Some key tracks on "Texas Flood" are, "Pride and Joy", "Texas Flood", "Mary Had A Little Lamb", "Tell Me", and more.
