Free Music Notes for Family Style
Free Music Review: Must have if you are a Vaughan fan
Hit: 5 Stars
This is the best blues guitar and the Vaughan brothers together you will ever hear. It is a must have if you are a Stevie Ray and Jimmie fan.Free Music Review: Gone too soon
Hit: 5 Stars
Very few musicians could play the guitar like Stevie. His guitar whined and moaned like a rapturous lover. This compilation with his brother, though not as dynamic as his solo music, is still very appealing. I can recommend it without reservation.Free Music Review: Some good songs on a weird album.
Hit: 3 Stars
At first I listened to this album as a Stevie fan, which is probably why I didn't like it. After experiencing a lot more blues, I listened to it again and liked it a lot more. There are some essential SRV songs on this album. Tick Tock, Telephone Song, Hard to Be, Long Way From Home, and the instrumental DFW are highlights. 3 of those 5 just happen to feature Stevie as a writer. Most of the songs Jimmie wrote aren't quite my bag of tea. I'm more into Blues Rock and they seem more country than Bluesey, but you might like them. Other than the songs, there are alot of weird sounds and voices which were kind of hard for me to look past at first they're supposed to be funny or something? The album would probably have gotten 4 stars if not for the track Hillbillies in Outer Space. See if you can listen to Tick Tock without thinking of John Mayer's Waiting on the World to Change. There are a couple tracks where they just jam and it's pretty cool the first couple times. Overall it's a very unique album with a blend of a few very different styles of Blues. Check it out especially if you're a big fan of either Vaughan.Free Music Review: Not Your Typical SRV
Hit: 3 Stars
As a SRV fan, I was a bit disappointed with this CD, partly because I expected to hear a little more of his incendiary guitar playing and soulful vocals. While it's apparent the Vaughan Brothers are having fun collaborating on songs that range in style from Texas Swing, R&B, Country (and yes, even a little Funk), I can't help but feel that SRV underplayed in this one.
I did love the prophetic and beautiful "Tick-Tock" and the R&B-infused "Telephone Song," two songs that give you a glimpse of what might have been in SRV's musical future. In addition, Jimmie and Stevie's work on the instrumental D/FW (a hometown tribute) is exceptional and is a great "car tune."
While I don't regret purchasing this CD--the aforementioned songs are well worth the price of admission--I was a bit surprised by the corny voiceovers and sound effects sprinkled throughout. Nevertheless, if you love SRV and Jimmie, you will forgive them and add this to your collection.
Free Music Review: Brothers Rock the House
Hit: 5 Stars
It doesn't get any better than Jimmie & Stevie Ray Vaughn on the same cd. Both, Austin, Texas legends performing their unique brand of blues, rock music. A fine tribute to the Vaughn brothers. Excellent choice.
