Free Music Review: Stevie Ray - Bigger than Life
Hit: 5 Stars
Some live albums make it, some don't...and then there are the very few that really stand out. Blues at Sunrise "stands out" with the best. I was a SRV fan from the first time I heard Stevie's explosively raw blues guitar work on the title track to "Texas Flood," and Blues at Sunrise is a collection of SRV's best slow blues guitar work. The first cut, "Ain't Gone 'N' Give Up On Love," a SRV composition, sets the tone for this virtuoso journey through time to some dimly lit, smoke-filled, 2 a.m. whiskey bar in Austin, Tx., and, unlike some albums, this one builds on tension and talent right to the end. Here is a testimony to SRV's head on approach to the blues: he attacks some cuts relentlessly (Leave My Girl Alone) while exhibiting a seasoned subtle touch on others (Tin Pan Alley). Every cut is a bona fide winner. The title track, featuring legendary blues man Albert King, will blow you away - it brings back memories of venues such as the Capital Theater and the Fillmores, where live jamming was refined to an artform that never lost its edge. This album is a must for anyone who likes good, slow, live blues! An all around "five star" album.Free Music Review: An excellent compilation from a blues legend

Blues, rock, and jazz have seen their share of guitar legends but none could ever come close to Stevie Ray Vaughan. This CD is a compilation of slow blues numbers that were recorded during his accomplished yet all to brief career. Most of the tracks are previously released but there are some unreleased tracks as well. A live performance of "Tin Pan Alley" with Johnny Copeland is very good as is an unreleased take of "The Sky is Crying" which was recorded during the "Couldn't Stand the Weather" sessions. The finest moments on this disc are those that make up the live version of "Texas Flood" which is from the El Macombo concert (which is available on video and DVD). During this performance he plays what is easily his best and most unbelievable solo. The title track with Albert King is near perfection despite some unnecessary chatter from King. The excellent guitar work from both musicians makes up for it. Words cannot express how great the music of Stevie Ray Vaughan is. This CD serves as a welcome addition to the collection of his fans and also a wonderful introduction to those who have yet to experience this blues legend.Free Music Review: An excellent compilation from a blues legend

I am a guitarist & SRV fan. If you are either, then you want this CD. Most of the tunes are versions you have not heard and Stevie absolutely lays it down on every one.As for the negative reviews, we all know that SRV has been downed for sounding like Buddy Guy, Lonnie Mack, or mainly Albert King. NEWSFLASH self-taught guitarists learn from listening to other artists. Stevie admittedly learned by ear, and this is what gives him his trademark, emotion. He did not know every mode/scale nor was he a theory expert; but he picked up his guitar it came to life. That's why we are still listening after all these years.
I will listen to anyone who plays with emotion and does it well. That being said, every guitarist I know considers SRV to be a legend and one of the best electric players ever to pick up a guitar.
I have a gigantic music collection and if this CD were lost/stolen I would replace it without a second thought. It is currently making its umpteenth re-circulation through my CD player, and last night I decided I needed to tell everyone how great it was.

I give this album a five star rating because it's Stevie's music. Even though there has been a generalized disappointment at the diminished amount of new content when it is generally believed much more is available, to denigrate the musician for the sake of corporate decisions is a mistake. Without a doubt, Stevie Vaughan is a powerhouse mega blues star that had nothing less than the total package. Singer, guitarist, drummer, slide player, composer, Stevie Ray was a charismatic performer capable of lulling you into thinking he was just an ordinary guy. But anyone who loves blues and studies its emotional content and subtleties will instantly come to recognize that this was a man well grounded in traditional blues who could bring forth all its tender pain and package it in contemporary rhythms, format, and instrumentation for the modern market. Ten years after his passing people are upset because they can't get enough of Stevie Ray Vaughan ..... not bad for a guy who never tours behind his record sales. Only you could pull this off, Stevie,.....rock on!
