Stevie Ray Vaughan And Double Trouble - Live

Review by Stuart McDonald

Live by Stevie Ray Vaughan and Double Trouble is an electrifying album that showcases the raw talent of the late guitar legend. Recorded during concerts in Austin, Texas and Montreux, Switzerland, this album captures the energy and passion of Vaughan's live performances.

The album features some of Vaughan's most iconic songs, including "Pride and Joy," "Texas Flood," and "Voodoo Child (Slight Return)," all of which are performed with fiery intensity. The band, consisting of Tommy Shannon on bass and Chris Layton on drums, provides a solid foundation for Vaughan's explosive guitar solos.

One of the highlights of the album is the 14-minute version of "Rude Mood," which showcases Vaughan's virtuosic playing and improvisational skills. The album also includes a cover of Jimi Hendrix's "Little Wing," which Vaughan makes his own with his signature sound.

Summary by Stuart McDonald

Live is a must-have for any fan of blues or guitar music. The album captures the essence of Stevie Ray Vaughan's live performances and serves as a testament to his incredible talent. It's a fitting tribute to a true guitar hero.
