    Stevie Ray admired Jimi Hendrix a lot, but his own skills and gift made him one of the most admired guitarists in the world. I remember the day it was announced that he was killed in a helicopter crash after a performance. I haven't heard anyone since then, that has captured the heart and spirit that he use to play with.

You are looking at an exceptional talent. BB King even played with SRV himself along with many other greats including Albert King, whose faces weren't white. So not a racist comment from BBKing SRV was accepted from the blues community as the best there was. He is exceptional

    Stevie was actually a humble man, a kind quiet and gentle soul, liked by everyone and loved by most. When he played guitar he for sure was on another plane, in another spiritual realm, where the music flowed through him. He said his talent was a gift from God and he worked hard to pay it back. He never ever bragged about himself.

    The Blues genre was dying out until Stevie came out. He resurrected the entire genre, performed with many great Blues stars, ie; BB. King, Albert King and some others, giving them all a new level of popularity! You always want to do Stevie's live performances as he puts his entire soul into his playing and a studio version, you miss all that! I suggest you do Jimi's Voodoo Child and then Stevie's Voodoo Child back to back.

    Stevie was, by far, one of the greatest blues guitarist I've ever heard and was the biggest influence for me and the way I play guitar today. He was solely responsible for bringing the blues back to the mainstream in the 80's when music was, in my opinion, without soul or feeling. He fought bravely to overcome addiction and was even better than ever until he died in a tragic helicopter accident while on tour. I literally cried the day he died. I can only imagine what contributions he would have made had he not been taken from us. RIP Stevie Ray. You were one of the greatest.

He never got to meet Hendrix, but he payed tribute to Jimi by playing a few of his songs in his live sets. He met Jimi's dad and he was so impressed with how Stevie played Jimi's music, that he gave him Jimi's "Wah" pedal.

    Stevie was inspired by many legends. He actually said though, that his brother, Jimmie Vaughan was his greatest influence in the beginning. When they were growing up, Jimmie was the first to start playing the guitar and Stevie (who started playing the guitar as a child) was very inspired by his big brother and followed him in that direction.

By all accounts, he was a great person w/ a good soul and that, I think, is a big part of why his playing, singing, and presence was so magnetic.

    Also known as 'The Cat in the Hat with a Strat'.. if you want to hear more vocals, try 'Life by the Drop',, 'Ain't Gonna Give Up On Love ', 'Life Without You '. The first was written by his good friend Doyle Bramhall. You can try the unplugged version, the latter two are excellent from Capital Theater. Both of these were written by SRV. Please do live versions. Stevie should always be seen to be enjoyed to the fullest! Also note that with the exception of shows recorded after 1986, Stevie was dealing with an alcohol and drug addiction. You can see in his shows after '86, he was much livelier in his performances. His last show in Austin in 1990 was one of my personal favorites.

They were shuttling the performers to and from the venue by helicopter. He was scheduled to take the following flight out, but asked if he could get on that earlier flight. Rumor has it that he wanted to get back to his hotel room where he reportedly had a stash of "stuff". The weather was acting up that day. The flight that he was on was impacted by the weather conditions, causing it to crash into a hillside or something. The music world lost the great guitar man, Stevie Ray, on that day.

    146am. I grew up in Texas down the street from Billy Gibbons in Houston he was probably 14. The start of my ears perking to Texas Blues. Of course it was influenced by the original blues men but those like Billy and Stevie worshiped their blues elders like gods. It sort of became roadhouse blues that’s how I now perceive it but it is all a result of the originals, the elders.
    Texas just has a way of adding an energy that is it’s own juice purely from being so inspired by their idols and mentors.
    They listened carefully, they were moved by the blues legends and they became immersed in working to connect with these original blues men. Remember this is back when you actually had to have talent standing there with no machines you could blow the roof off… You just fucking needed to be there hoping to some day be a part .The greats don’t look at their guitars as you mentioned they surrender and allow the music to come through them. A good friend of mine‘s father played with Stevie Ray on the road for many years and his son young son traveled a lot and being around that caliber of musicians you can’t help but absorb it. My friend is a guitar god. Hendrix‘s producer came out of retirement to produce this young man’s album. This is an important point to remember because the all-time greats are either gone or going down. It’s evident in the last 20 years, and I believe we need a music revolution. The elders-the greats that are still here need to be respected and sought out by the young people who don’t even know what the origin of a song is or why they’re influenced by it. I started a nonprofit almost a decade ago to educate and provide musical instruments and education to kids that otherwise could not afford an instrument. It’s been very successful and we have been able to draw international acclaimed artists and musicians to work directly in a small setting in our local schools to empower and encourage kids. It’s been the most rewarding thing I’ve done in my career and we’ve actually never made a dime personally we just pass on whatever we can raise to the artists of the future. Music shelters, heals, and connects us all. It is necessary for a healthy community and ultimately a healthy planet. But it takes a third party that is not part of the business of music financially nor can we expect our schools to fund this. Music and art programs are cut out or crippled, while athletics are generally placed first. Music is essential and takes us places simply by listening, moving, being transported for a few minutes or hours that empower us to carry on with our lives.
