STEVIE RAY VAUGHAN - TEXAS FLOOD (180G 45RPM 2LP)

Stevie Ray Vaughan Texas Flood on 180g 45RPM 2LP From Analogue Productions

The Best SRV Has Ever Sounded in Analog

A debut seemingly sent from the musical heavens, Stevie Ray Vaughan and Double Trouble’s Texas Flood announces the arrival of a truly special talent—namely, the last major blues guitarist to emerge with a voice all his own, an immediately distinctive style, and a soulfulness that you feel inside the depths of your existence. Not for nothing was Vaughan frequently mentioned in the same breath as his closest musical cousin, Jimi Hendrix.

The proof is scattered throughout Texas Flood, which single-handedly resuscitated a genre that had long been dormant. Having spent more than half a year on the Billboard charts, the set pays homage to influences (Hendrix, Albert King, Larry Davis) and ripples with a freshness that joins contemporary Texas blues and muscular rock at the hip. Vaughan’s playing is all about emotion and pace, whether he’s lighting it up on the jumpy “Love Struck Baby” or bursting with enthusiasm on the sparks-shooting “Pride and Joy.”
