Free Music Notes for The Essential Stevie Ray Vaughan and Double Trouble
Free Music Review: electric blues at its very best
Hit: 5 Stars
There are too many bands out there with nothing to say. No one could ever say that about SRV. This is one of the best cds I own. I listen to a lot of different stuff, a bunch of crazy metal mostly, but this cd is sooo good. Stevie really excelled at making you feel through his music. He sang about stuff that I could really relate to, and I think a lot of people could. He really knew how to put feelings into words. Life by the Drop is one of the most real songs ever written. His version of Little Wing is one of my very favorite songs ever. Change It is amazing. Couldn't Stand the Weather is blues guitar at its finest. Amazon is selling this for $14? I paid like twice that elsewhere, but if you are a fan of electric blues, or just want to hear a real guy that was amazing at guitar, pick this up. If I could bring 2 musicians back from the dead it would be Darrel Abbott and Stevie Ray Vaughan. Free Music Review: everything you need to know

Stevie Ray Vaughan was my first real guitar god, my introduction to the blues, and my excuse for everything from what I was wearing to why I was late for work. I loved watching him play, and to my great distress I never got to see him in person. When I heard of the helicopter crash, I was at work; I don't recall anything of the rest of that day, and I dressed in black for about two weeks after that. He's taken me on some memorable journeys, both figuratively and for real; there's always at least one Stevie Ray cd in the wallet when I road-trip. This collection has it all, from his eager,powerful early days ("Love Struck Baby" , "Pride And Joy", "Texas Flood") through his struggling times with his evil demons ("Willie The Wimp", "Give Me Back My Wig") to when he came out on the other side, with the clean,fresh songs from In Step ("Crossfire", "Tightrope", and my ties for favourite, "Wall Of Denial" and "Riviera Paradise" - the last, one of the most beautiful and saddest songs ever written, emoting far more through guitar notes than a person could ever put in words.) It is a heavenly crime that he was taken away from us so soon, and at the height of his powers and newfound wellbeing. I miss him every time I play one of his songs, and I have to stop whatever I'm doing if something of his comes on the radio. My only quibble with this collection is that they left off "Honey Bee" -which has the smokinest little riff at the beginning of almost anything I've ever heard from anybody. I've been known to play just that riff about twenty times over before I even get to the rest of the song. This double-disc collection should be in the library of every Stevie Ray fan. Don't ignore it. You won't regret it.Free Music Review: Absolutely Essential

Whomever compiled the tracks on Stevie Ray Vaughan's career did a nearly perfect job. Top quality tracks were selected from nearly every one of Stevie's recordings. You have all of Stevie's well know hits such as Pride And Joy, Crossfire, Cold Shot, Tightrope, and Love Struck Baby. Also some stunning more CD oriented gems such as Wall of Denial, Lenny, Tin Pan Alley, Scuttlebutting, and Telephone Song. How about some live versions of Superstition, Willie The Wimp, and Leave That Little Girl Alone.
Stevie was a hell of a talent and its a shame that he is not around today. Nonetheless, the fantastic solos and often overlooked singing are all here for your enjoyment. Also of note double trouble was one great band. Reese Wynas really pushed this act over the edge with his fantastic keyboard touches. Tommy Shannon adds some cool bass touches and Frank Layton(?) stands a solid drummer. Overall, a great way to go to get nearly all of essential recordings by Stevie Ray Vaughan.

This 2 CD set has a pleasing combination of SRV's early, simpler sounding work on through his later inward looking songs.
For anyone who's had trouble with defective or missing disks; hang in there- this is a collection that's worth the wait. The good thing about any "greatest" or "essential" disc set is that there are NO dud tracks anywhere, and this compilation sure follows suit. If you don't know much about Stevie Ray or are a hardcore fan you'll be pleased with the broad coverage of Stevie's changing style in this presentation. I highly recommend it.

This CD is defective. We had two shipped to us and both would not play any music. It was very frustrating dealing with returning and then receiving the new CD with the same problem again. We still do not know how good the music was because we never had the opportunity to listen to it.
