If you can't appreciate this mellow blues, I don't know what to tell ya. YMMV

To my mind, Stevie Ray Vaughan was probably the best Texas Blues guitarist of all time. Could listen to him all night.

I've watched that session a gazillion times. For some reason utube knows.

SRV and BB seen them several times in my hometown Memphis

I miss old Stevie Ray.
He is gone but will remain one of my all time favorites.
Here's one of my most played songs from him.
Stevie Ray Vaughan - Cold Shot

Thats Albert King, not BB.

SRV was the ONLY artist that could cover Jimi and not make my toes curl up.

You are absolutely right!

SRV is still my all time favorite even over Hendricks. There are other very talented players but their music just doesn't speak to me like Stevie's did.

I think JiRV (SRV brother)is better! I also like Clapton & Bonnie R.Blues.....you also have some great harp players....James Cotton & Kim Wilson!

never saw Stevie ray, but loved his stuff,

but grew up with this KY blues man


[ame]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tk8-_c79dFY[/ame]
saw him playing ever since childhood

remember him being ever bit this good as freshman at Metcalfe county high school

he tried to teach me back then but I was clueless

man we are getting old

 

[brigeton]

I really like Clapton & others. When I watch Jimmy Vaughn play it always looks like he is struggling to get his fingers in the right place, not smooth like others. Not that I know much, I just know what sounds good to me.

It doesn't get much better than those two!

A lot of my favorite musicians are (or were) from Texas. Lyle Lovett, Johnny and Edgar Winter, ZZ Top, Clarence Gatemouth Brown, Lightnin' Hopkins, and Albert Collins, just to name a few.

Love me some Texas Blues.

As far as "Born Under a Bad Sign", the best version was by Pat Travers.

 

[doublesharp]

Butterfield Blues Band gives a good account of themselves on Born Under a Bad Sign.

That's funny, I didn't even catch it until you pointed it out.

 

[Ranger514]

If you love the Blues, you just can't claim one artist as a favorite. They all speak to us differently in the same language.
