Free Music Notes for Texas Flood
Free Music Review: This album is a Lonnie Mack like blues rock,
Hit: 5 Stars
Either this or The Sky is Crying would be the perfect first album for those who don't own any of his work yet. It has most of Vaughan's blues staples on this version- Howlin wolf's Tell Me Tin Pan Alley -Live- Arguably the harshest and most well done blues song of his career in music- Texas Flood- His biggest staple of standard blues- Pride and Joy his most famous and most upbeat blues song- and Lenny his groundbreaking smooth blues instrumental written for his wife. Also Lonnie Mack song Wham! and Mack-hendrix-A.King- influenced istrumentals Testify and Rude Mood. Every song here is a superb example of Vaughan and could be turned into a whole conversation about him. Awesome Hard core blues- Rock- And bluesrock music. Buy it now! You won't be dissappointed.Free Music Review: A MASTERPIECE
Hit: 5 Stars
TEXAS FLOOD is STEVIE RAY VAUGHN'S first album and every song on this album is a hit. Now that it is remastered, the songs are fresher and sound better, and we have some bonus live tracks that show where SRV really earned his reputation, and that is by playing live back in Austin. We have classic tracks such as LOVE STRUCK BABY, PRIDE AND JOY, MARY HAD A LITTLE LAMB,I'M CRYIN, which are uptempo blues rockers, and we also have the slower tempo blues classics TEXAS FLOOD,and DIRTY POOL. LENNY, TELL ME, and RUDE MOOD are classic blues instrumentals that are a must listen to. This remastered and reissued album is great and we be enjoyed by all fans of the blues and will be a great way for new fans to be introduced to SRV musicFree Music Review: Great Debut
Hit: 5 Stars
Texas Flood is an album any blues fan will surely love. SRV was an amazing guitarist with great techniques and a smooth tone that defined modern blues. On Texas Flood SRV and his equally skilled backing band Double Trouble deliver a bunch of hard-hitting songs with a feeling of immediacy that most great debut albums have. Even if you're not a hardcore blues fan, you should still be able to appreciate album highlights like the catchy shuffle "Pride and Joy", fast-moving instrumental "Testify", and the jazzy, beautiful "Lenny". Although it's arguable whether Stevie ever surpassed his heros (Personally I don't think he ever quite matched Hendrix), you can't deny the talent, passion and overall power heard on Texas Flood.Free Music Review: A Breath of Fresh Air
Hit: 5 Stars
When this album came out in 1983, the music world was trapped in a morass of synth-pop drivel. This album provided a sonic battering ram, re-opening a door that had been shut for too long.I was absolutely bowled over when this album first came out and it still gets me every time I listen to the CD.
His Hendrix/Guy/King(Albert) influences are hard to miss, but he melded their styles into his own. From the opening romp of Lovestruck Baby to his final (not countin the bonus tracks) instrumental ode to his then-wife Lenny, there is not a misstep on this CD.
He may have gone on to write and perform stronger material, but for reminding everyone about the blues, this CD gets 5 stars.
Free Music Review: Explosion of Blues Virtuosity
Hit: 5 Stars
Stevie-Ray Vaughan - Texas Flood The honest, ungimmicky explosion of inspired virtuosity, warm but raw tone and the expressiveness of his playing on this historic album blew me away and changed my musical outlook for ever. The recording was treated as a live gig - he just walked into the studio with his band and played the usual live set straight trough twice - and the spontanaety of the performance shines through. Such raw power is lost when lesser players agonise with take after take. Players like SRV don't need to do that - they can make history in a single spontaneous performance. I feel that the polish of his later records resulted in some loss of this magical spontenaaety.
