This book is a good insight into SRV and his life. It is not full of intimate details, but it does have a lot of information. And, what is really nice about it is that it is information that comes from direct interviews with SRV, himself, and very close friends, band members, musicians and family. There are guitar tips about how SRV played and some guitar "mini" lesson pages. It also contains some great B & W pictures. An over-all great book for the SRV fan! He was the greatest guitarist to ever walk this earth and is sorely missed...the book proves it.

This is a great book. It's not like others where you have to wonder about the accuracy of the information, this one is direct from the man's mouth! Required reading for every fan.

i can sum it up in a few short words, just awsome. if your looking for a srv book than this is it, a must have a must buy. its a very honest and open book. stevie is the best there ever was or ever will be. he is the king.

This is simply a compilation of Guitar World articles about and interviews with SRV. Interesting, but nothing new (for me anyway). But I had already read several other books about him and was simply looking for something that went a little deeper. This didn't do that for me. There are a couple of interviews with other people associated with Stevie (eg, Rene Martinez) that I did find interesting because it went into depth about Stevie's gear, particularly the components of his guitars. For my money, though, "Caught in the Crossfire" is the best book about SRV

I really enjoyed this book. I am an avid Stevie Ray Vaughan fan and loved the insight into his life, however, I do not play guitar and there were alot of "guitar terms" that I did not understand. I am happy, though, to add this to my Stevie collection. This book is a group of articles from the magazine, Guitar World, and those of you who play will probably enjoy this book more than I did!
