4.0 out of 5 stars "An SRV Tribute Album that Lives Up to It's Name", January 11, 2004

This review is from: Crossfire: A Salute to Stevie Ray (Audio CD)

This 11-track tribute to Stevie Ray Vaughan is a great collection which includes awesome cover versions of songs from his four studio albums: Texas Flood (1983), Couldn't Stand the Weather (1984), Soul to Soul (1985), and In Step (1989).
The standouts include blazing renditions of "Couldn't Stand the Weather", "Pride & Joy", "Tightrope", and the Hendrix-like instrumental "Say What!" Any fan of Stevie Ray's music will surely enjoy this unique tribute to the late guitarist.

LIKE ANY TRIBUTE CD THERE IS ALWAYS SOME KIND OF ANTICIPATION OF THE QUALITY OF THE SONGS AND ARTISTS WHO ARE PLAYING ON THIS CD,WELL THERE IS PLENTY OF BOTH. THE GREAT SONGS ARE "SAT WHAT" BY WALTER TROUT AND "RIVERIA PARADISE" BY STANLEY JORDAN.

5.0 out of 5 stars Cool tribute CD. SRV would like it., April 12, 2005

This is a great CD. I don't have it but just listing to the samples is good. My favorite song by SRV is "Cold Shot" and I think that Steve Stevens does an excellent job on it. Also "Couldn't Stand the Weather" with Scott Hill on it sounds just like SRV. In "House is Rockin" the piano solo is rockin.
