Vaughan, Stevie Ray
Amazon.ca
This legendary 1983 debut by the fallen torchbearer of the '80s-'90s blues revival sounds even more dramatic in its remixed and expanded edition. Stevie Ray Vaughan's guitar and vocals are a bit brighter and more present on this 14-track CD. And the newly included bonus numbers (an incendiary studio version of the slow blues "Tin Pan Alley" that was left off the original release, and live takes of "Testify," "Mary Had a Little Lamb," and the instrumental "Wham!" from a 1983 Hollywood concert) illuminate the raw soul and passion that propelled his artistry even when he was under the spell of drug addiction. Texas Flood captures Vaughan as rockin' blues purist, paying tribute in his inspired six-string diction to his influences Larry Davis (who wrote the title track), Buddy Guy, Albert King, and Jimi Hendrix. His own contemplative "Lenny," a tribute to his wife at the time, also suggests a jazz-fueled complexity that would infuse his later work. --Ted Drozdowski

It can be argued, this is the best debut album ever.......and there are so many to those from. It ranks right up there with Led Zeppelin 1, JJ Cale's Naturally (not really rock but great debut album), Jimi Hendrix's Are You Experienced, Lynyrd Skynyrd's pronounced ......., Jeff Healy - See The Light, Paul Butterfield Blues Band........pretty high company as you see. This is SRV at his best. My other fav SRV album is The Sky is Crying, 8 yrs after this debut.

I am often unsure about reissues with an extra disc, just like original vinyls released on CD with all sorts of extra tracks, including naff versions of the songs you know, versions that you hear and think: well, these were previously never issued because they're not very good.So I bought this, wondering what the bonus track on the main disc and the whole extra disc would be like. It is SRV, so I was optimistic. Well, I needn't have been concerned. The original album recording is excellent - I know most of the songs from a compilation set that I have, and the Texas Flood album does not disappoint. A good example of how trying to classify music into one genre or another does not always work. Rock? Blues? SRV, very well supported by Double Trouble, is all the categorisation it needs.And the second disc definitely exceeded my expectations. It's a good quality live recording from the same year as the original album, including his excellent versions of Hendrix's Voodoo Chile and Little Wing.If you like SRV, then you must surely like this. Hard to imagine how amazing it would have sounded when hearing him for the first time. Shame he died so early, otherwise he would surely have just carried on and on producing wonderful music.
