An Intense Electric Blues Album
Released in 1983 Stevie Ray Vaughan and Double Trouble's debut album is by far there best and has remained a classic album to this day. From the upbeat, "Love Struck Baby", to the concluding, "Lenny", this album is a non stop ride of well structured blues songs with wailing guitar solo's make this album a must have. What's shocking about this album is that it was recorded in only a mere three days and what's even more shocking is that it took Stevie Ray Vaughan almost ten years before he landed a record deal.

Texas Flood, was respectivley named by Stevie Ray Vaughan to honor Larry Davis a relatively unknown blues guitarist from Austin Texas wrote the original version of, "Texas Flood", back in 1960, Stevie Ray Vaughan's version contains a slow beginning beat but then launches into a wailing blues guitar solo that keeps you listening every time. Some key tracks on "Texas Flood" are, "Pride and Joy", "Texas Flood", "Mary Had A Little Lamb", "Tell Me", and more.


Texas Flood
Recommended highly by a friend, but unless you like country I don't recommend that you spend your money on this.


still have not received the CD
. I have not received the CD in the mail, and have had no correspondence with the seller.


SRV Texas Flood
Great first cd for anyone. Stevie Ray sings and plays from the heart. Imagine what kind of jams he would be pulling down today! .


The Greatest Blues-Rock Guitarist
However, I'd like to stress the term, "Blues Rock", and not "Blues". Stevie Ray Vaughan was, without a doubt, the greatest Blues-Rock guitarist of all-time. He was not a Bluesman. Being a Bluesman requires more than just playing Blues guitar licks very fast and accurately. On this album, his singing is solid, the music makes the listener move his/her feet, the guitar playing is frantic and a great deal of fun, and Vaughan simply comes across as having an original image and sound. The album is available for a very cheap price on Amazon. com, so you should definitely pick it up. This is Vaughan's best album. Although I detest him being considered "the best Bluesman", he was still a great musician and I would have loved to have seen him live in concert. His pre-mature death will remain one of the greatest tragedies in music history. "Pride And Joy", "Texas Flood" and "Rude Mood" are all excellent. Fenton Robinson also performed "Texas Flood" on his "Somebody Loan Me A Dime" album, and it sounds a great deal different than it does on this album.
