Vaughan threw together a very straight ahead blues album that is highlighted by his guitar playing. That of course is the signature of Vaughan. He plays the blues with a rock and roll speed and an ease that was unlike what anyone had heard. He's easy to dismiss until you really listen to him play and then you realize what a unique talent Stevie Ray Vaughan was.
If you're in the mood for some blues, this is a solid album.
Following the Rhapsody rating method I give it 2 out of 5 stars for Not Bad.
This reminds me when The Fabulous Thunderbirds played at WKU's Garrett Conference Center in 1987. It was on a Monday or Wednesday night (probably Wednesday), and a skeleton staff (of which I was part) worked to put out the next morning's College Heights Herald downstairs. It was pretty fun to work to a live band coming through the ceiling.
ReplyDeleteThis scene reprised itself with a Church appearance about a year later and several other concerts. I almost always enjoyed those production nights. Well, heck, I pretty much enjoyed every Herald production night.
