Stevie Ray Vaughan - Texas Flood (1983)


This is the debut album for Stevie Ray Vaughan, a brilliant American guitar player, and one of the most influential blues musicians. Credits to Pesh for making me aware of him.

I was never too much into the blues style, so this is "new" for me and I don't have too much to compare with. Nevertheless I find the album Texas Flood really enjoyable. It makes me feel like I'm sitting in an old bar with a glass of bourbon. I like the clear electric sound and the rhythm, just amazing guitar performance.

Mary Had a Little Lamb and Testify are my personal favorites, otherwise the whole CD is highly recommended. A expanded and remixed version of the album is available on Spotify.
