Editorial Reviews

Unlike most tribute albums from the '90s, A Tribute to Stevie Ray Vaughan isn't a lifeless collection of piecemeal studio performances - it's a fiery, living tribute, which is only fitting for a guitarist who shone intensely and brightly during his brief life. Recorded live in Stevie Ray's hometown of Austin, TX, the album features many of Vaughan's idols, friends, and admirers ripping through his most famous numbers. Many of these musicians - including his brother Jimmie, Eric Clapton, Robert Cray, and Buddy Guy - played with Stevie the night he died, which makes the record all the more poignant; also on hand are superstars like B.B. King, Bonnie Raitt, Dr. John, and Art Neville. Although the memory and occasion remain bittersweet, the music on the album is simply teeming with life - everybody plays their heart out. Best of all are the collective jams at the end and the two new songs, "Six Strings Down" and "SRV Blues," which were written in Vaughan's memory. In short, it's what a tribute should be - a celebration of life, not death.

1. Pride and Joy - Bonnie Raitt

2. Texas Flood - Jimmie Vaughan

3. Telephone Song - B.B. King

4. Long Way From Home - Buddy Guy

5. Ain't Gone 'N Give up on Your Love - Eric Clapton

6. Love Struck Baby - Robert Cray

7. Cold Shot - Dr. John

8. Six Strings Down - Jimmie Vaughan/Eric Clapton/Bonnie Raitt/Robert Cray/B.B. King/Buddy Guy/Dr. John/Art Neville

9. Tick Tock - Jimmie Vaughan/Eric Clapton/Bonnie Raitt/Robert Cray/B.B. King/Buddy Guy/Dr. John/Art Neville

10. Srv Shuffle - Jimmie Vaughan/Eric Clapton/Bonnie Raitt/Robert Cray/B.B. King/Buddy Guy/Dr. John/Art Neville

This review is from: A Tribute to Stevie Ray Vaughan (LIVE) (Audio CD)

I loved the tribute to stevie ray vaughan I mean who would'nt! Their are so many influential blues guitarist on this album including Eric Clapton, Buddy Guy, BB.King, Robert Cray, Jimmie Vaughan, Bonnie Raitt, and more....Their are also many special guests including Dr. John, and Art Neville. As well as the great guitarist, and special guests their is also the orginal member's of Stevie Ray Vaughan and double trouble including Chris Layton, and Tommy Shannon. This live show was done in the Austin City Limits show. I think everybody does great rendition's of Stevie Ray Vaughan's songs including Jimmie Vaughan's: Texas Flood, B.B.King's: Telephone Song, and the powerful rendition of Eric Clapton's: Ain't Gone'N Give Up On Your Love. A really good trio with everybody is Tick Tock, and the Srv Shuffle very cool. This is truely a must have for any guitarist this one is truely" for you!!!!Highly Recommended!
