Stevie Ray Vaughan • Music City USA

 

 

Recorded six years before Stevie Ray Vaughan's untimely death in a helicopter crash outside of East Troy, Wisconsin, this is among the finest live recordings of the legendary Texas bluesman one is ever likely to hear. • Vaughan first achieved national recognition as the original guitarist on David Bowie's 'Serious Moonlight/Let's Dance' project in 1983. By the time this concert was recorded at the Austin Opera House, on April 15th the following year, he had already garnered enough success as a solo artist to be able to play a full 90-minute show of cutting-edge blues guitar that was distinctly his own - and wholly original for the time. • Backed by the simple two-man rhythm section dubbed Double Trouble (bassist Tommy Shannon had previously backed another Texas blues master, Johnny Winter) Vaughan plays with fire and intensity throughout this gig. Original hits like "Pride & Joy" and "Cold Shot" are here, as are a number of classic blues instrumentals, such as "Testify", which he uses to both open and close the show. But the real highlight of the set is Vaughan's blistering read of Jimi Hendrix's blues-rock classic, "Voodoo Child", which Vaughan plays with an intensity nearly as powerful as the Hendrix original. You won't even care that the first verse's vocals are missing (the sound engineer forgot to turn up Vaughan's vocal mic until he went to the chorus of the song); Vaughan's guitar sings loud enough. • As one would expect, another sure highlight is the two-song combo featuring Vaughan's older brother, Jimmy, of The Fabulous Thunderbirds fame. Rock was in the blood for these boys, and the brothers, with help from Double Trouble, show the audience how Texas truly plays the blues. A must for blues and rock fans anywhere.

Grabado seis años antes de la prematura muerte de Stevie Ray Vaughan en un accidente de helicóptero en las afueras de East Troy, Wisconsin, esta es una de las mejores grabaciones en directo del legendario bluesman de Texas que se pueden escuchar. - Vaughan alcanzó por primera vez el reconocimiento nacional como guitarrista original del proyecto "Serious Moonlight/Let's Dance" de David Bowie en 1983. Cuando se grabó este concierto en el Austin Opera House, el 15 de abril del año siguiente, ya había cosechado suficiente éxito como artista en solitario como para poder tocar un espectáculo completo de 90 minutos de guitarra de blues de vanguardia que era claramente suyo, y totalmente original para la época. - Respaldado por la sencilla sección rítmica de dos hombres apodada Double Trouble (el bajista Tommy Shannon había respaldado anteriormente a otro maestro del blues tejano, Johnny Winter), Vaughan toca con fuego e intensidad a lo largo de este concierto. Éxitos originales como "Pride & Joy" y "Cold Shot" están aquí, al igual que una serie de instrumentales clásicos de blues, como "Testify", que utiliza tanto para abrir como para cerrar el espectáculo. Pero el verdadero punto álgido del concierto es la interpretación de Vaughan del clásico del blues-rock de Jimi Hendrix, "Voodoo Child", que Vaughan toca con una intensidad casi tan poderosa como la original de Hendrix. Ni siquiera te importará que falte la voz de la primera estrofa (el ingeniero de sonido se olvidó de subir el micrófono vocal de Vaughan hasta que pasó al estribillo de la canción); la guitarra de Vaughan canta lo suficientemente alto. - Como era de esperar, otro punto destacado es el combo de dos canciones en el que participa el hermano mayor de Vaughan, Jimmy, de la fama de The Fabulous Thunderbirds. El rock estaba en la sangre de estos chicos, y los hermanos, con la ayuda de Double Trouble, muestran al público cómo Texas toca realmente el blues. Un disco imprescindible para los aficionados al blues y al rock de cualquier lugar.
