Details: Amazon.ca A decade after his tragic, untimely demise, electric-blues legend Stevie Ray Vaughan has left behind a void that remains largely unfilled, despite a number of ballyhooed young pretenders. The guitarist’s career was long troubled by personal demons, and this album chronicles those deceptively languorous, slow blues jams where Vaughan did battle with them. The howling, fervent tone he coaxed from his instrument was a product of lessons learned only in the School of Hard Knocks, accompanied by a voice–perhaps the most underrated of Vaughan’s talents–that perfectly underscored his tortured gospel. But those who stereotyped Vaughan as a paint-by-numbers bluesman misunderstood the breadth of his lexicon; listen to « Chitlins con Carne » (from the guitarist’s posthumous The Sky Is Crying album) here and you’ll hear tinges of Wes Montgomery and other jazz inflections. Especially notable are three previously unreleased cuts: a live version of « Texas Flood, » a 1985 Montreux Jazz Festival duet-jam of « Tin Pan Alley » with the late Johnny Copeland, and an ’84 outtake of Elmore James’s « The Sky Is Crying »–plus a 15-minute TV-taping workout with Albert King on the elder legend’s « Blues at Sunrise. » Raw, passionate, and uncompromising, this is SRV at his gut-wrenching best. –Jerry McCulley Product description Stevie Ray Vaughan ~ Blues At Sunrise
