STEVIE RAY VAUGHAN AND DOUBLE TROUBLE – TEXAS FLOOD (LP VINYL)

Stevie Ray Vaughan’s third studio album Soul To Soul was released in 1985, just two years after his massive debut Texas Flood [MOVLP583]. Moving more into a soulful R&B-tinged blues sound, Stevie included two new band members on keyboard and saxophone for Soul To Soul. The band know their way around a number of cover versions of songs penned by Hank Ballard, Doyle Bramhall and Willie Dixon, bringing a variety of influences into SRV’s brand of modern blues. His own compositions such as “Say What”, “Ain’t Gone ‘N’ Give Up On Love” en “Life Without You” reveal an artist that is ever passionate in delivering real blues, and growing in his songwriting at the same time.
