Free Music Notes for The Essential Stevie Ray Vaughan and Double Trouble
Free Music Review: Stevie Ray from A to Z
Hit: 5 Stars
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.Free Music Review: ATTENTION: Defective Discs !!!!
Hit: 1 Stars
Bought this from amazon and both discs were defective and would not play on any CD player. Thankfully amazon refunded my money in full, but save yourself the trouble.
It WOULD be an awesome album if only the cd's worked....*sigh*...
Free Music Review: An EXCELLENT release of SRV classics!
Hit: 5 Stars
This release is incredible! There is no other word for it. You get 33 digitally remastered Stevie Ray Vaughan & Double Trouble tracks for your music listening pleasure. If you're looking for more SRV than Greatest Hits has to offer or just want to have some nicely remastered tracks from many of your favorite albums at your finger-tips, then this is the double disc set for you. It makes a great set for the car too.
You find all the songs from Greatest Hits here minus "Taxman". For that song you would need to pick up Greatest Hits as it's not available elsewhere on cd, and I only recommend that if you're really into The Beatles.(As I am) Otherwise, not one of the songs Stevie was known for.
You'll also find all the songs from The Real Deal: Greatest Hits, Vol. 2 on this compilation with the exception of "Ain't Gone 'N' Give Up On Love" and "Pipe Line". And instead of those 3 songs (1 + 2) you get: Rude Mood/Hide Away (Live), Mary Had A Little Lamb, The Things (That) I Used To Do, Gimme Back My Wig, The Sky Is Crying (Live), Say What!, Come On Pt. 3, and The Long Way From Home, all of which are top notch songs.
This double disc set is perhaps for those who want more than one disc (Greatest Hits) but less than three disc set (SRV Box Set). I don't know about you but when I go to grab albums by an artist for a car-trip or travel I end up taking too many and don't get a chance to listen to the majority. But I like variety. And this is a large enough amount in one place for that road trip or for playing for that friend who wants to get into SRV and is looking for a good album to start with. As good as this compilation is, most of it is originally from the albums that made Stevie so great in Austin, TX all those years. But if this is all you need, it's a good amount.
There's always the perfect amount of an artist for every situation. People always act as if you would never own the same music twice. Not true. Greatest Hits albums aren't just for the new fan. While a studio album is a beautiful thing and meant to be listened to in it's entirity (I highly recommend seeking out the albums your favorite songs come from originally) the 1 or 2 disc hits albums are sometimes the best album of all! Everything is neatly there together in one place. And each disc has it's own flow so to speak, it's own little journey. I just happen to own just about everything that is available on CD for SRV. But as far as one album (by that I mean one case) that I can take with me on the fly and have plenty of Stevie, this is it!
The Essential Stevie Ray Vaughan & Double Trouble captures everything about their studio albums and live performances that made them great. You get the best of both worlds here. You get 33 tracks instead of 28 as you would on Greatest Hits and The Real Deal: Greatest Hits, Vol. 2. Both sets are amazing but If I had to pick one, this is the one!
Free Music Review: Defective over and over again!
Hit: 1 Stars
I have purchased this set FIVE times from Best Buy and each and every time disc #1 is defective and will not play...very frustrating!!! I am considering buying one @ Amazon but, I'm a bit leary. It looks like an excellent set. I just wish they could get it together :o(
