Much Better Album Than People Give It Credit For

"No, this isn't a Fabulous T-Birds album, and no this isn't a Stevie Ray Vaughan album -- this is pure Jimmie Vaughan. If you expect anything else, you will not get it.



The context for appreciating Jimmie is different: early Johnny "Guitar" Watson, Guitar Slim, the organ-rich "soul jazz" of Jack McDuff and Grant Green. If you like this stuff, you will probably love what Jimmie is doing these days.



I like the T-Birds and SRV as much as the next guy, but believe it or not, I like what Jimmie is doing these days a lot more. What Jimmie lacks in pump and flash he makes up for with tone and cool."

All hail the brother

"stevie ray was brilliant in his excess; jimmie is brilliant in his restraint. all of his albums shine in their tight, smooth groove. different style, yes, but every bit as good as his brother. all blues guitarists should have such taste. play on."
