Every Stevie Ray fan should have this one....
This is an excellent CD set from SRV, has some of his best music on it and can be listened to for hours.


Sad he's gone
He is missed. Stevie Ray Vaughan was one of the best blues artist of our time. The reviewer that wrote that he was country hasn't listened to country. Before you write a review do your home work or stay out.


The Man
. What else can i say other than Stevie ray Vaughn is the MAN and everyone should listen to all his music.


Hotter Than Houston In August
Self-taught, unable to read a note of music, Stevie Ray Vaughan displays technical virtuosity that at times seems almost Faustian, it's hard to believe that what you're hearing is even possible. Some of the tracks on this splendid, reasonably priced 2 CD-set could peel paint off road signs. Most of all, SRV is a complete Texas blues package, his singing is excellent, his command of the blues idiom so total one imagines he must have dreamt blues as well as lived them - everything works, right down to the outfits and soul patch.

In a sense, SRV was the brightest hope of a next generation of blues masters. He picked his idols wisely, patterning himself after Albert King, Buddy Guy, Albert Collins, among others. However, there are also strong rock overtones here, most notably the influence of Hendrix who he clearly worshipped. The several Hendrix covers attest to this - they are actually not the best parts of this effort although Little Wing is marvelous. The others prove that SRV could recreate the Hendrix sound - which in itself is an amazing achievement - but add nothing new.

SRV was discovered by legendary virtuoso Johnny Winter, who retains the title of Texas blues heavyweight, and also frequently crossed over to rock. There will be those who will claim SRV outstrips Winter, I can't agree, but I would say they belong in the same sentence. In life, Vaughan was unable to outlive irony. Decades of chronic drug and alcohol abuse took him to death's door where he made the decision to get clean. He did, and was enjoying success as a sober man, only to die in a helicopter crash. It's a tragic story, but he certainly left us with some incendiary, thoroughly satisfying music. I guess that really is why they call it the blues. Highly recommended.


Great Album
There is a reason they called it the essentials!. This album is a must own for any one who enjoys anything by SRV.
