I am the greatest Any blues/rock lover will absolutely wear this CD out because it is the vary essence of SRV music. The name of this album should be "I Am the Greatest!" because that is what this album is for Stevie Ray. The only CD left to buy is his Live at Austin City Limits, his best performance ever in my opinion!. the blues bible, bar none! This album has probably his best work with the exception of Voodoo Chile, Tin Pan Alley and Riviera Paradise. Tragically SRV left us way too early so we can never know the heights he would have achieved in blues guitar playing. If you are not moved by listening to "Little Wing" or "Life Without You, then you simply must be dead!!. Stevie Ray Vaughan - Ok For What It Is This is a decent single disc collection that captures all of his radio hits and a few choice album cuts. I picked this up a while back because I did not have much Stevie on CD. Since this album came out I believe there is a more comprehensive two disc compilation that has also been released. For what it is the album is ok, but at only around 50 minutes they could have fit quite a bit more on it. Before Stevie Ray I really had very little appreciation for the blues. Since then I have become a big fan and have gone on to discover many other blues masters. If you are looking for an introduction or just the hits, this album is worth getting, but for a more in depth look I would pick up his studio albums (he only released 4 during his short lifetime). Makes you hungry for more! It's a choice I do NOT regret in the least!. A nice compilation of SRV, and it inspired me to pick up his albums, which is what good compilations do. This CD could be all you need... If you are not real heavy into SRV, this is a great CD to have. I read another review that pretty much hit the mark. It has all his stuff you've heard on the radio plus a few other tasty cuts. On the other hand, there are a lot of really smokin tunes that are missing from this short collection. It's like a teaser - when it's over, you'll wish there was a disc number two. You can see a complete list of all Stevie Ray Vaughan discography, or go back to the Stevie Ray Vaughan tabs
