Getting into Stevie Ray Vaughn

Thank you, sfar.

That was a candle to bright, one of the greats for sure. I also loved Robin Trower. Been a while he's still around.. Alvin Lee was no slouch either.

Regards

If we’re dropping names, my BluesRock p/l also includes Rory Gallagher, Ronben Ford, Bonamassa, Johnny Winter, Phil Brown and Popa Chubby.

I lived in Austin, TX in the '70s in a house six blocks south of the Rome Inn, a former Italian restaurant that had been converted into a music club. The name didn't change because it cost too much. The regular Tuesday night band was Paul Ray and the Cobras. Paul Ray was a wonderful blues singer and his lead guitarist was a young Stevie Ray Vaughan. Stevie Ray was usually near the back of the stage with his back to the audience and I never heard him sing, that was Paul Ray's job. The cover charge was $2, a real bargain.

Blast from the past!  He "opened" for the band his older brother Jimmy played lead guitar for, The Fabulous Thunderbirds, at the Midland TX Sheraton.  Talk about a small venue!  Prob 1984.  He was soooo loud.  Anyway, he did a very well done album with Jimmy near the end called Family Style.  Check it out.
