Switching Channels
I do a semi-regular feature on Friday’s over at my place called Radio KBwD. Its an opportunity at the end of the work week to just relax and to introduce what I feel is some great music.

The tie-in here was too difficult (obvious?) to resist. The song you are about to hear is also the title track of the very first album I owned (tape cassette - yes, I’m dating myself). For my money, the man stands only behind Jimi Hendrix in terms of greatest rock’n’roll guitar players… and they’re standing very close to each other. I walked around in a daze for a day or so after finding out he had died in a plane crash in Wisconsin. He left us way too early and he still had so much great music to make. We will always have, though, what he left behind.

Ladies and Gentlemen, from Austin Texas…. Stevie Ray Vaughan and Double Trouble performing “Texas Flood”.

Hendrix was too much hype and the music was dischordant. Stevie Ray is by far the king of this genre. I wouldn't put them in the same league. Ballpark, yes.

I need to dig out my dad's Stevie Ray Vaughn CD's and rip them...
