Stei Ray Vaughan - The Essential Stevie Ray Vaughan and Double Trouble (2002)


E 'blues rock guitarist par excellence, one that most inspired by Hendrix has come to grasp its essence and to approach more than ever concentrated in a single artist, completely self-taught, the style of Albert King, Freddie King, Chuck Berry, Buddy Guy, BB King, Hendrix and fact, I've always loved Texas Flood from which I have the vinyl of course since the exit, I propose again in this collection .

With assets only 4 studio albums, but an incredible career of original Live bootleg collected in hundreds of performances and become historical, of posthumous albums, and collaborations with major artists like Bob Dylan and Bowie.

But it solo with his ability to pull Lasu Fender import the impossible that mixing his blues guitar ever made by the distortion right at the Rock 'n' roll more pure 50s up to the true and own Rock of the 80s always influenced by the blues vein, in his hands and his style all the influence of Hendrix jumps out and announced as soon as start the first notes of his incredible songs flavored by a voice that seems created specifically for the electric blues.

In this double-CD collection of 2002 the very best in studio and live with his Double Trouble is the beginning of the journey for those who want to know this extraordinary artist who unfortunately died prematurely on the night of August 27, 1990, at 'Alpine Valley Music Theater near East Troy, Wisconsin, after taking part in a concert with Eric Clapton, Robert Cray, Buddy Guy and his brother Jimmie, salt on a helicopter to return to his hotel in Chicago. As stated later by the same Clapton, Vaughan, tired for the concert, he asked to take the place of Clapton and go first. Shortly after takeoff the plane crashed into a hill due to heavy fog and the pilot's lack of experience in similar weather conditions. The three people on board, a collaborator with Eric Clapton, the pilot, and Stevie Ray Vaughan died in the accident.

I followed him since his debut album Texas Flood dell''83 and albums to follow, for me is one of the most incredible guitarists who have passed on this planet, even if I have lost a little in years, and this collection that I rediscovered me appreciated the fact and report to the memory of his incredible style and sound, and an instrumental version of "Little Wing" by Hendrix is one of the most beautiful I've heard.

This is also a beautiful piece of history of Rock.
