Customer Reviews
SRV CD for the car.
I own many SRV CDs but needed this one to have in my car at all times. Some of his best music is on this CD and it is great to have it handy on one CD. If you own a collection of SRV music this is not really needed unless you want a travel CD like I do. I find it necessary to have one. I mourn for him every time I play this CD and find it difficult to accept the fact that we will never hear the music we could have had if he had not left us so young. And I am grateful for the the music he did leave for us to enjoy.
SRV The Real Deal
It's a shame that for all of us SRV fans every knew albulm that his estate releases will always and forever be a rerun, but for a true SRV fan all ya gotta do is shuffle the order and throw in a song or two that was recorded different and we are in Heaven. It's SRV to the bone, like everything he did, to the bone!!!
This is more like it!
Much, much better than 1995's original tepid "Greatest Hits"-album, this is a terrific introduction to the late, great Stevie Ray Vaughan.
A supremely strong and unusually varied collection of songs, "The Real Deal: Greatest Hits vol. 1" brings together 16 of Stevie Ray's best tunes, smouldering slow blues, melodic, swaggering R&B, and gritty blues-rock, all of it suprebly played and arranged by one of the few latter-day blues guitarists who was NOT overly hyped!
Most of Stevie Ray Vaughan and Double Trouble's best songs are here, including "Pride & Joy", "Cold Shot", the sizzling high-octane blues "Texas Flood", and the rollicking "The House is Rocking", and those that aren't here are on the equally excellent volume two.
Powerful, fiery covers of Guitar Slim's "The Things That I Used To Do" and Elmore James' "The Sky Is Crying" only adds to the appeal of this fine, well-packaged compilation.
By itself, "The Real Deal vol 1" can't match the double-disc "Essential Stevie Ray Vaughan", but get this one, and volume two as well, and you'll have the second-best Stevie Ray Vaughan-collection on the market. The best one is the "SRV" box set...!
