Like guitar heroes and rock stars of the era that Stevie Ray Vaughan reminded us of, he left us too young. Fortunately, he left us some great music with his band Double Trouble and his brother, Jimmie Vaughan of the Fabulous Thunderbirds. SRV as he coined himself on his hand made guitars, single handedly brought the blues back to popularity with the release of Texas Flood in 1983. The record was a top 40 hit, which was unheard of for blues players at the time. Along with In Step, they make up the majority of the greatest hits records, which you should pass up if you can resist it.
