REVIEW
By Howard Lee Teitel, amazon.com
This 11-track tribute to Stevie Ray Vaughan is a great collection which includes awesome cover versions of songs from his four studio albums: Texas Flood (1983), Couldn't Stand the Weather (1984), Soul to Soul (1985), and In Step (1989).
The standouts include blazing renditions of "Couldn't Stand the Weather", "Pride & Joy", "Tightrope", and the Hendrix-like instrumental "Say What!" Any fan of Stevie Ray's music will surely enjoy this unique tribute to the late guitarist.
