5.0 out of 5 stars Real Texas Blues, June 26, 2000

A solid follow-up to Strange Pleasure. This album is proof positive that Jimmie is a master of "slow hand" blues. He includes more tough Texas shuffles and some great new and innovative stuff (i.e "Astral Projection Blues" with Dr. John on the Vibes). This album is every bit as fun to listen to as his previous effort. Masterful work once again.

4.0 out of 5 stars Smooth, July 15, 2000

This album is nowhere near the painstaking driven outerspace sound of Stevie Ray, Jimmie's brother, but it's not supposed to be. This style is different and is execellent if you take it for what it is, a complete stand-up blues album. One that you can have a good time with and listen to front to back without any track skipping like with some albums. Jimmie is an underrated bluesman with a voice as smooth as albert King and a guitar style as cool as B.B. King. Anybody trying to pick up the blues needs to hear this array of electric and acoustic deep blues and old time rythms and melodies. Jimmie Vaughan may not be a guitar god like his brother but I think this album seals him in as being one of the most talented living bluesman alive and as having one of the most easily spotted styles aside of that. Beginning to end you can feel the cool subtle workings of his guitar and his voice and his simple traditional sounding blues lyrics. Of course at times you hear a little bit of good old rock and roll but what is old rock and roll if not a voodoo child of the quick blues? Stevie Ray is smiling down on his Big Bro with no doubt as he unleashes this humble but happy record with total style and grace.

4.0 out of 5 stars Much Better Album Than People Give It Credit For, May 2, 2006

No, this isn't a Fabulous T-Birds album, and no this isn't a Stevie Ray Vaughan album -- this is pure Jimmie Vaughan. If you expect anything else, you will not get it.

The context for appreciating Jimmie is different: early Johnny "Guitar" Watson, Guitar Slim, the organ-rich "soul jazz" of Jack McDuff and Grant Green. If you like this stuff, you will probably love what Jimmie is doing these days.

I like the T-Birds and SRV as much as the next guy, but believe it or not, I like what Jimmie is doing these days a lot more. What Jimmie lacks in pump and flash he makes up for with tone and cool.
