In memory of Stevie Ray Vaughan, who died tragically in a helicopter crash on this day in 1990, I just wanted to post this link to a really cool video that celebrates his talent. Enjoy.
It's been 19 years and people are still discovering Stevie's music.
Please feel free to post your own thoughts on Stevie and links to your favourite SRV videos.

I first discovered Stevie thanks to Much Music via the video for the title track of his sophomore release "Couldn't Stand the Weather."
ReplyDeleteIt wasn't a stellar video by any stretch of the imagination, but the music captivated me and I rushed right out to buy the album.
If you watch the video on YouTube @ http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3Q_kWVhcB5g you'll note that he's not playing his signature Strat.
Here's a little trivia for you. Stevie's bass player, Tommy Shannon, played for Johnny Winter back in 1969 and appears on Johnny's first three studio albums.
