Great Compilation!
It's a great compilation! . This is a really great cd for the person who isn't too familiar with SRV it has a nice mixture of all of his work!
I like to listen to it when I am traveling so I don't have to switch albums in the car.


SRV Rocks!


He rocks!. This CD really rocks! Stevie sings his all time best hits and I would highly recommend this CD to anyone who has doubts about how great SRV really was.


This is more like it!


A supremely strong and unusually varied collection of songs, "The Real Deal: Greatest Hits vol. Much, much better than 1995's original tepid "Greatest Hits"-album, this is a terrific introduction to the late, great Stevie Ray Vaughan. 1" brings together 16 of Stevie Ray's best tunes, smouldering slow blues, melodic, swaggering R&B, and gritty blues-rock, all of it suprebly played and arranged by one of the few latter-day blues guitarists who was NOT overly hyped!
Most of Stevie Ray Vaughan and Double Trouble's best songs are here, including "Pride & Joy", "Cold Shot", the sizzling high-octane blues "Texas Flood", and the rollicking "The House is Rocking", and those that aren't here are on the equally excellent volume two.

Powerful, fiery covers of Guitar Slim's "The Things That I Used To Do" and Elmore James' "The Sky Is Crying" only adds to the appeal of this fine, well-packaged compilation.
By itself, "The Real Deal vol 1" can't match the double-disc "Essential Stevie Ray Vaughan", but get this one, and volume two as well, and you'll have the second-best Stevie Ray Vaughan-collection on the market. The best one is the "SRV" box set. . . !.


Great songs from a great artitst
Great songs from a great artist. The title says it all. Good quality recordings used.


Vast improvement over the original "Greatest Hits"
2", provides newcomers to SRV a nice overview of his all too brief career. This new compilation, when purchased together with "The Real Deal, Vol. There was a "Greatest Hits" album released in 1995 which is way inferior to this release. Personally, I'm not a fan of greatest hits or best of compilations, and usually will only purchase them if I don't know much about the artist and want to get a sample of their music. So, if you aren't familiar with Stevie or are on a budget, by all means get this CD as every song on it is essential. But after hearing this, you will want to go out and get everything he ever recorded. I have all of his discs and couldn't imagine being without any of them. To me, SRV was the greatest guitar player to have ever graced us with his presence.
