Product Description

Description

Though Texas blues guitar legend Stevie Ray Vaughan will obviously be best remembered for his own catalog, he was a manwho liked to spread his talent around. SOLOS, SESSIONS & ENCORES is a collection of archival tracks (most of them previously unreleased) that find the six-string wizard sitting inwith everybody from Albert Collins to David Bowie, and generating the kind of excitement that made him the preeminent blues artist of his era, yet still never hogging the spotlight from his worthy cohorts.

4.0 out of 5 stars A different, original way to listent to Stevie Ray Vaughan's artistry, 17 Jan 2008

By	jayhikkss - See all my reviews (TOP 500 REVIEWER)

Stevie Ray Vaughan's latest CD release includes six previously unreleased live tracks as well as eight already released tracks.

This is the second album from him that I buy since "The Sky Is Crying."

As SRV was always wont to play with other artists, I bought this CD to gain a broader view of his work. This album highlights recordings where SRV was either a guest or a sideman. This album does not focus on Stevie Ray Vaughan's music, but rather on Stevie Ray Vaughan's musicianship. It also displays the great versatility of SRV.

After hearing what is on offer here, I can assure you that his record label is definitely not scrapping the bottom of the barrel.

The album starts with "The Sky Is Crying", the well-known live version featuring Albert King, B.B. King and Paul Butterfield that was released on DVD. I have always found that this track was rather average. Although a fan of all the aforementioned musicians, I find that Butterfield's vocals and harmonica playing do not really fit in this context. I also find that SRV cannot compare to Albert King, at least vocally.

Marcia Ball's taunting rendition of "Soulful Dress" was the best track from her debut rounder LP (1984.) SRV's flashy guitar riffs greatly enhanced it.

"Don't Stop by the Creek, Son" is an outstanding track recorded by Johnny Copeland on his own, excellent "Teen Twister" album for Rounder (1983.)

On A.C. Reed's "Miami Street", he responds well to the main man's raspy, gutbucket blowing and soulful self-deprecating lyrics.

The next track, "Na-Na-Ne-Na-Nay", written and performed by rockabilly singer Bill Carter's features a rocking horn section I do not find it that great.

SRV and Jeff Beck perform a live, savage rendition of "Goin' Down." This, by the way, is the well known Don Nix composition. Beck did not write it as mentioned.

SRV co-produced Lonnie Mack's inspired comeback album titled "Strike like Lightning" (Alligator, 1985.) The CD offers a live rendition of the former album's "Orea Cookie Blues" recorded at Atlanta's Fox Theatre in 1986. Lonnie Mack and his Gibson Flying V are firing on all cylinders here.

SRV brings his bullish guitar tone to the late Katie Webster's "On the Run", which was recorded at the 1988 New Orleans Jazz & Heritage Festival. I bet that many SRV fan will be delighted to hear Webster's vocals and barrelhouse swamp piano playing.

Next, comes the best cut with "Albert's Shuffle", co-written and performed by Albert Collins and SRV and recorded live in 1988. SRV responds intensely to Albert's capoed Telecaster. It is an awe-inspiring, frenzied rendition with howling notes and machine-gun riffs. Albert Collins, along with Albert King and Lonnie Mack, was one of the young SRV guitar heroes.

"Change it" recorded for a television show in 1985 sees Stevie's older brother Jimmie Vaughan playing rhythm on a 1985 television show. The little brother seems to set fireworks alight. Sparks flow in all directions.

On the live "You Can Have My Husband", Lou-Ann Barton - then SRV's girlfriend - plays the tough chick. This track is not one of the best. I actually prefer Barton's studio take recorded with Jimmie Vaughan in 1985. SRV's solo's are very good though.

Bonnie Raitt remains her very elegant self as she adds highly sensitive slide to "Texas Flood", which was recorded in Seattle in 1985. A wonderful track!

The blistering version of "Pipeline", recorded with Dick Dale - the "King of Surf Guitar" - is truly magnificent. SRV's fans unfamiliar with this proto heavy-metal rocker will be fascinated.

Although SRV's guitar is well in attendance, David Bowie's catchy, funky "Let's Dance", which ends the album, feels somewhat alien to what comes before. However, it was an important step in SRV's career and shows how adaptable he was.

Overall, this is a good album. The high points far outweigh the average ones. Moreover, I bet that some of SRV's fans will be delighted to listen to great artists that they might not already know. Enjoy.
