An All-Star Tribute To Stevie Ray Vaughan, April 9, 2004
This review is from: Tribute to Stevie Ray Vaughan (Audio CD)
Stevie Ray Vaughan without a doubt is one of the greatest blues guitarist, and song writers that ever lived. I have been a long time Stevie Ray Vaughan fan when the tribute CD came out I was anxious to here people like jimmie vaughan, bonnie rait, bb. king, eric clapton, robert cray, and dr.john. I bought this not too long ago since I have never got around to it. I have been so caught up with newer releases like the Stevie Ray Vaughan Box Set that I forget to buy some of that other stuff. Anyways I thought in all this CD was another great thing that happened to the blues power of steive ray vaughan. The guitarist's on here are truely great all of them have a different style thats what I really liked about this CD no one copied stevie note for note or tried to be just like him because every guitarist is different from another. The first track on this CD is Bonnie Raitt: Pride And Joy. Her version was way different from Stevie's but it was good to here a new flavor with some slide guitar. The second track is Jimmie Vaughan: Texas Flood. I also loved his texas guitar slinging playing it sounded like he was picking with his hands it was really cool. One of my favorites though is the next song performed by B.B King titled Telephone Song here is the coolest blues jam. The next one is titled Long Way Home by Buddy Guy. My favorite song on this album was Eric Clapton's version of Ain't Gone 'N Give Up On Your Love. Then their was Robert Cray's Love Struck Baby, Dr. John Cold Shot, All of the guitarist for Six String Down, All of the guitarist for Tick Tock, and all of the guitairist for the SRV Shuffle. Dont get me wrong this is one of the best tribute CD's that was ever put together their is great blues guitar playing on here any true fan, or guitarist would want. Highly Recomended!!

What A Tribute To The King Of Blues!, September 13, 2004
This review is from: Tribute to Stevie Ray Vaughan (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 Recomened!

Heartfelt Tribute to Stevie Ray Vaughan, February 10, 2000
If your looking for a polished studio album featuring any of these performers then go elsewhere. But if you are looking for a heartfelt tribute to SRV from each performer then this is for you. This tribute features performances from everyone that was with Stevie on his faithful night. Each performer gives his/her take on their favorite SRV classics. You can tell that emotion is pouring through every song.
