Free Music Review: Essential for collectors...
Hit: 3 Stars
This set is essential if you want to have a (almost) complete collection of SRV. However, my gripes are in the mixing, most noteably "Texas Flood" and "Sky Is Crying."
In "Texas Flood" Bonnie Raitt's guitar overpowers the mix and should have been remixed completely. With "Sky Is Crying" it is extremely apparent that this version was cut from a much longer one and you can here it 3:07. Even if this song were 20 minutes long I would have preferred a full version over the inclusion of "Oreo Cookie Blues" or "Pipeline."
I dig this disc for the inclusion of a handful of Stevie's guest appearances (for more you'll have to Google his discography to see other artist's whose music he had guested on). But the mixes could have been better.
Solos, Sessions & Encores Poster
The blues-rock guitar hero's studio vaults were nearly empty when he died in an August 27, 1990, helicopter crash. This set unearths a 1978 Austin session track of "You Can Have My Husband" with Vaughan as second fiddle to his then girlfriend, singer Lou Ann Barton, but it's undistinguished compared to the previously unreleased live performances that compose this disc's heart. Vaughan contributes teeth-baring pentatonic solos to Lonnie Mack's "Oreo Cookie Blues" at Atlanta's Fox Theatre in 1986 and brings his bullish tone to the late blues piano stomper Katie Webster's "On the Run" at the 1988 New Orleans Jazz & Heritage Festival. Bonnie Raitt's distinctively keening slide adds elegance to a "Texas Flood" from Bumbershoot 1985 in Seattle, and when Stevie's older sibling Jimmie Vaughan stops by Saturday Night Live to play rhythm on a 1985 "Change It," li'l bro' squeezes out screaming fireworks. But the best cut's a breathtaking '88 Jazz Fest slugfest with Texas Telecaster blaster Albert Collins that's jammed with howling, shaken notes and machine-gun riffing. Both are in top form. The rest is culled from Vaughan's guest appearances on others' releases or previous retrospectives and include matches with blues godfathers B.B. King and Albert King, as well as Johnny Copeland and A.C. Reed, Jeff Beck, Austin barrelhouser Marcia Ball, surf guitar king Dick Dale, and David Bowie, whose "Let's Dance" introduced Vaughan to the mainstream in 1983. --Ted DrozdowskiBlues Music CDs
