4.0 out of 5 stars SRV on SACD, June 8, 2001

This review is for the SACD version of an established classic album. The remaster was good, this is better. Must have an SACD player to play this disc as Sony has so far only released single layer SACD discs while all the other lables releasing SACD material are dual layer and therefore backwards compatible. They will play in a regular cd player. But why would you want to. This SACD has a wider and much deeper sound stage. Snare and kick drum attacks here are very sharp and articulated. Midrange guitar notes punch you right in the stomach while Stevie's voice has incredible presence compared to the regular cd version. The slower, bluesy tracks including Stang's Twang really make you sit up and take note of the detailed sound this SACD offers. As Hound Dog Taylor and SRV said, "Give me back my wig and let your head go bald".

They broke the mold when SRV learned to play the guitar. Often imitated but NEVER DUPLICATED the world will miss SRV and his unique guitar stylings.

5.0 out of 5 stars Perfect, February 18, 1999

The "expert reviewer" of this CD was an unfortunate choice. There are plenty of music critics who have given Stevie Ray Vaughan high acclaim. This is an incredible recording and remains one of my favorites after all this time.
