Product Description
CD Description
Legendary Texan guitar slinger Jimmie Vaughan returns with his first solo outing in nearly 9 years, a collection of mostly covers on which Jimmy and cohorts capture the authentic studio sound of the late 50s when most of the tracks were first cut.
Jimmie handpicked the covers made famous by the likes of Little Richard, Jimmy Reed, Willie Nelson, Doug Sahm and many more.
The album was self-produced and recorded in Vaughan's hometown of Austin with a solid group of mostly local musicians, with longtime cohort Ann Barton lending her vocals to a handful of tunes.

(51:07/15) Lange mussten wir auf Jimmies neues Album warten. Hat sich die Warterei gelohnt Auf jeden Fall! Kenne kaum einen Musiker, der derart cool dieses alte Zeug spielt. Klar. Diesen Stil beherrschen andere auch. Ich denke an Duke Robillard zum Beispiel. Doch vielleicht kann nur ein Texaner den alten Kram so lässig rüberbringen. Stilistisch ist Jimmie in den letzten Jahren einen Schritt zurück gegangen. Selbst seine eigenen Nummern klingen eher nach 1949 denn nach Neuzeit. Dieser Blues swingt und groovt und bleibt stets lässig, auch dank der exzellenten Mitwirkenden. Hervorragend

I just love Jimmie Vaughan's music,he's among the very best guitar wise from his days with THe Fabulous Thunderbirds through various excellent solo projects to two very excellent albums with Doyle Dykes (Jimmy Reed Highway being the best and award winning disc) he's now got back in the studio with what must be his own band,I say this because they play so tightly they must be used to each other, plus extra vocals by Lou Ann Barton she who was in an early SRV band back in Texas.My wife thinks she sounds a lot like Imelda May,fine she's another great vocalist. Jimmie on this set has produced fifteen tracks of blues ,rock n roll,ballads and does what it says on the label and plays his favourites.As ever his guitar work totally unlke his late brothers,more restrained and not loud in the way Stevie Ray was but every bit as good and personally I enjoy him more,though taking nothing away from Stevie. So here songs like 'Lonely Weekends' the old Charlie Rich hit,Willie Nelson's 'Funny How Time Slips Away','Sent Me Some Lovin', plus three Jimmie originals give us a very enjoyable set that will get regular repeated playings.This is classy and excellently played music using various types of music from blues,country,rock n roll, pop favourites of the fifties that added all together give us a very satisfying album throughout

This is Jimmie's first solo CD since the "Do you get the blues" 9 years ago. I was a big fan of the Thunderbirds - mainly for Kim Wilson's harp and vocals - but Jimmie and the the rest of the band obviously played their part in the straight ahead rockin' blues. I wasn't too keen on Jimmie's first solo record but I did really like "Do you get the blues" and "Out there" which both found him really hitting form as both a guitarist and a singer.
On this new CD he only contributes one new song, the 50s-style instrumental "Comin' & Goin'". The remainder of the CD features covers of 50/60s blues, R&B, rock and roll, country and pop songs from the likes of Little Richard, Jimmy Reed, Roy Milton, Willie Nelson, Doug Sahm, Roscoe Gordon and others. And while this makes for great variety and Jimmie is obviously really enjoying himself, I personally would have liked more blues - there is nothing on this record with the power, feeling and guitar attack of most of the tracks on "Do you get the blues" and "Out there". That said I did enjoy his and Lou Ann Barton's version of "I'm Leavin' It Up To You" - unreckonisable from Nino Tempo and April Steven's version - and I also really liked his subtle version of Roscoe Gordon's "Just A Little Bit". All the tracks here are OK but none really stands out and I hope his next CD finds him going back to more contemporary and harder-edged sounds.

Although a big fan of guitar and Hammond B3 grooves and heavy bottom end of the rhythm section found on earlier JV albums such as Out There and Do You Get The Blues, this is an enjoyable excursion into some well chosen covers and standards topped up by a typically tasteful JV instrumental.
I guess with only one JV composition on the CD and the horn section to the fore on a number of tracks makes this a 4 and not 5 star album review.
Maybe a smokin' live album with his regular band will keep long time fans like myself smiling like JV himself on the cover of ... Blues, Ballads & Favourites!
