What a pitty Stevie is dead It is just a wanderfull album. This is a carefully selected presentation of Stevie's blues numbers. Listen to Dirty Pool and you'll understand why.
A gift that made the recipient happy!
How could you not love anything that one of the greatest guitar players had a part of?. I already own everything Stevie has on the market so I didn't buy this for myself, it was on a relatives gift list and she loved it.
Best SRV album I own!
Very recently purchased SRV at Carnegie Hall, and quite frankly it stunk. I have numerous SRV CD's, even some ancient cassettes. Un-listenable. When I saw the low price ($4. 95) I was skeptical. I was unfamiliar with Scorsese's efforts and his blues compilations. For the money I figured "what the heck" and bought it. It is now my favorite SRV! Not a bad cut on it! For those wanting to explore SRV for the first time, or long time fans I highly recommend this CD.
RICK SHAQ GOLDSTEIN SAYS: "THE BEST BROAD BRUSH OF STEVIE'S GREATNESS!"
I have many CD's, DVD'S and books, by and about Stevie. As already noted in previous Shaq, "The King Of The World Blues Reviewer" reviews; Stevie is one of my two favorite all-time electric blues guitarists. For a single CD presentation, this is by far the best of all the incantations of greatest hits by/on Stevie. This is a good mix of musical selections. This CD starts off with a unique, "cooking", slide guitar instrumental, entitled: "Slide Thing". It's so good, you find yourself wishing it was longer. It has a 5 minute 21 second version of one of Stevie's anthem's "Texas Flood". It also has (In Shaq's opinion!") THE GREATEST PERFORMANCE IN HISTORY, LIVE, OF "THE SKY IS CRYING!" 7 Minutes 20 seconds, of guitar bending, euphoria! There's also a 6 minute 35 second performance of "Ain't Gone `N' Give Up on Love" live! This is an excellently, mixed, combo of guitar bending blues, foot tapping, rock-blues ("Pride & Joy") and other blues ballad's. This is a must purchase, for any current. . . want to be. . . or ought to be. . . blues, and Stevie Ray Vaughan, lover! .
Takes my Blues away
This CD highlights what SRV does the best. . BLUES! Many of these cuts are obviously live recordings and the spontaneity and passion come across in his guitar playing. Personally I think if you had to pick one SRV CD this would definitely be a contender. I never get tired of listening to this one and I am known for a pretty short attention span. I will try the other CD's recommended here but honestly I can't imagine them being any better then this.
