Stevie Ray Vaughan : Live at the El Mocambo
© 1999 Sony
Here is Stevie Ray at the beginning of his fame, his first album with his backing band Double Trouble, Texas Flood, having just been released to critical and popular acclaim. The venue is the El Mocambo club in Toronto, a dark, smoky joint with a laid-back but appreciative audience.
Vaughan, drummer Chris Layton, and bassist Tommy Shannon share the tiny stage. The guitarist, bedecked in trademark hat and alligator-skin boots, is pale of complexion, sweating from the heat and exertion, and physically much smaller than Shannon. But Vaughan dominates the stage, as much by the magnetism of his flamboyant personality as his guitar playing.
Here is an authentic blues artist captured in the throes of living through his music. At this early stage in his career he was still very much in thrall to Jimi Hendrix (the flower-power shirt gives it away), as covers of "Voodoo Chile" and "Third Stone from the Sun" (the latter a Hendrix-inspired guitar-abuse session) indicate. The highlight of the show, however, is his rendition of "Texas Flood," which turns out to be an amazing devotion to the art of blues guitar.
This is a raw, intimate, and spontaneous record of a one-time event. All fans of the blues and SRV will be grateful to those who had the foresight to capture it on film.

Stevie Ray Vaughan : In Step
Electric Blues
In Step is a blues-rock album by Stevie Ray Vaughan and Double Trouble released in 1989. The title In Step can be seen as referring to Vaughan's new-found sobriety, following the years of drug and alcohol use that eventually lead Vaughan into rehabilitation. It was also the final album of Vaughan's career; he died in a helicopter crash in 1990.

Electric Blues
Soul to Soul is the third studio album by Stevie Ray Vaughan and Double Trouble, and was released in 1985. Soul to Soul saw the addition of a new band member, keyboardist Reese Wynans, to the Double Trouble power trio. Wynans would stay with the group until Vaughan's death in 1990.

Stevie Ray Vaughan : Live at Montreux 1982 & 1985 : DVD
Concert DVD
Spaced almost exactly three years apart, these concerts (60 and 93 minutes, respectively) represent the Texan blues god at his fiery best, with Double Trouble (drummer Chris Layton and bassist Tommy Shannon) laying the solid foundation upon which SRV built a Fender-driven sound as fierce as it was perfectly refined.
