Daddy Dee Posted November 15, 2006 Share Posted November 15, 2006 Funky, That is very cool to have heard him that many times. He was a genuinely gifted man. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J M O N Posted November 16, 2006 Share Posted November 16, 2006 What a fantastic talent! A true legend. It's a shame he's gone. Interesting article, thanks for the post. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jacksonbart Posted November 16, 2006 Author Share Posted November 16, 2006 Have you guys brought the Tribute to SRV? Its pretty damn good, with Jimmie Vaughan.Clapton, BB King, Buddy Guy, Robert Cray, DrJohn and Art Neville. Its a great performance and its a great tribute 5 years after his death, but in many ways to hear all these talented artists cover his work really shows just how great he was.

I agree, it is a really nice album. I particularly like the cuts, "Cold Shot" by Dr. John, "Love Struck Baby" by Robert Cray, and "Texas Flood" by Jimmie Vaughan. Older brother Jimmie is a very good guitarist in his own right. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vindeville Posted November 17, 2006 Share Posted November 17, 2006 yup, Stevie was a rare talent indeed, we'll never see the likes of him again i'm afraid, can't help getting a little down thinking of the great recordings we'll never hear, or the progression he'd have made as a guitarist, i'll always regret never seeing him live, and have always thought how great it would have been to meet and talk with him. I have all the recorded material he's done i believe, i probably don't play them as often as i once did, but i still find them as amazing as ever. The feeling and power of the music that came from this man is simply unbelievable, rest his soul. Jimi Vaughn is also a tremendous artist, if you don't have any of his recordings your missing out on some great stuff, i like the sound of his recordings too, as i do most blues music. Jimi plays with great passion and a wicked tone, and a bit of a 50's/blues mix, check him out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
